I have been on something of a 'knit craze' the last few months. I've been having fun experimenting with my new found skill - but I am realizing that I really don't need anymore scarves!! I have already made myself three (plus couple more for gifts), and have some more projects underway.
So here is my proposition. Say you want something knitted (ie: a scarf, maybe a hat, hand warmers or a purse) and I want to knit but I really can't justify buying more yarn. So: you buy yarn, I knit and give to you. :) This should help out both parties: you get a handmade something or other and just buy the yarn and I get to work on my knitting skills without spending money.
Of course we could collaborate on the pattern (although it has to be within my skill level - which is ever growing...hopefully) or if you don't even want to think about it I could do it all (yarn choice included) and surprise you.
Let me know if you are interested!! I would love to make something for you!

Good idea!! Knitting is expensive, especially if you aren't interested in knitting acrylic yarn.
I am almost finished with my baby blanket but lost the three balls of yarn I need to finish it. :( Not quite sure what I'm going to do about that.
A knitted purse, eh? That sounds kind of nifty! I do just happen to have some yarn that has been sitting, waiting for creation - however, with 3 children...it just doesn't seem to happen! :) Do you have any purse plans that I could peruse? Or sites that I could look at?
The purse patterns that I have found I randomly selected at the library in the books at my local branch. I also really like looking at etsy.com for ideas.
As for patterns here are two sites I found:

Re: DLJM
The yarn shop on Bainbridge is the Best! I will be visiting Churchmouse at least twice in the next month. Teresa, You'll have to let me know when you're headed that direction.
