knitting and flowers

I finished my first knitted scarf last week!  I’m so excited about it.  I got some new yarn actually and I started knitting another one:

I’m super excited about it, and I love the colors!  I’m starting to like knitting more and more because it takes so much more time than crocheting, and while at first that was a disadvantage, I’m liking it now because it’s saving me money on yarn!  I was buying so much more yarn crocheting because I’d whiz through projects in an hour and a half and would have nothing left to work on!  Not that I will ever like crochet any less than I do now — I’m just liking knitting more and more.

As an aside, my boyfriend was really great to me this week: he brought me flowers and chocolate at work for no reason at all!  He’s such a sweetie!
