What Pattern!!

So I've started knitting... well mostly... I've managed to get a few rows of white done on a black and white striped scarf. I think I'll finish that before I do anything else just to make sure I have the hang of the knit and pearl thing and how to start and stop. But I have realized that unless something seems to pose a bit of a challenge that I am always reluctant to do it. So I've kinda decided to make a sweater. At least I think I've decided. But that main issue is money (as usual) but my husband thinks he'll be able to get me some stuff, I think he thinks it'll keep me busy enough so I'm not bored at home all the time.

So I've been looking at patterns on Ravelry www.ravelry.com, which TOTALLY rocks as a site. I have been looking at a bunch of sweater patterns, being I'm reluctant to do anything baby related and although I'd like to try a blanket my husband thinks I should wait for that as well. So women and dog sweater patterns are what I've been looking at. Now the thing is that I only seem to like the more difficult patters or the ones that will take quite a bit of yarn. It's kind of an "of course you will" moment. Where no matter what I look at I keep getting drawn into the most difficult stuff. Of course I can't just do a simple pattern that doesn't take much work. Of course I can't keep it easy for my first time doing something big. OF COURSE LOL!

So I'll keep looking and printing off patterns and I'll either let you know if I manage to do any of them, or if I throw in the towel and get someone to pick me an easier pattern. We will have to just wait and see.

So good luck on all you yarn crafts, and I'll keep you posted on mine!
