I'm Knitting!!! and My Crafty To Do List

I've wanted to learn to knit for awhile now. I've been especially inspired by Katie's blog Philigry and Soulemama. I finally decided to get a book and just try. Not so bad so far! I can cast on, knit, and purl. I'm making a simple dishtowel to start, but I hope to do something more advanced soon!

I use google noteboook to keep track of all the great ideas I find online, but I'm still not sure it is the best way for me to organize everything. I decided it would help me to focus if I had most things on one list. This way when I want to make something I can just check the list and see what sounds fun!
