First Post!

So, i finally broke down, and got myself a blogger blog. Primarily what I'm going to be talking about here will be my knitting, as per the title. First, introduction-type stuff.

I taught myself how to knit through books and a few videos online, and my method is a variant of Standard Continental. It's a variant because of how i hold the yarn, and how i manipulate the stitches--I'm left handed, and my left hand naturally wants to do most of the work, so even though i knit in a way that is similar to how most right handers knit continental--same direction and such--there are some differences.

I've also only been knitting a little over a year, but in that time have managed to complete a number of different patterns, all with varying levels of difficulty--from intarsia as one of my first projects, to the socks I'm knitting now. I refuse to allow any knitting to intimidate me, and will readily jump in and start knitting, even if i have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing--I'll learn as i go.

Unfortunately, it's now time for bed, a thunderstorm is brewing, and i can't continue at the moment--more later.
