Because the world needs another knit blog...

Hi! I'm Laurie and this is my first blog, "Scared Sheep", because somewhere out there is a very, very scared sheep - this being a reference to my insatiable desire to knit project upon project!

I'm a film student (going into 3rd year) and can't wait to move back to Toronto in the fall. I first learned to knit about a year ago when I knit a scarf of my own design, which I now affectionately call "The Pinapple Scarf".

This past christmas I went insane and knit eight different scarves which I gifted to seven different friends and family mambers (the eighth being a little gift to myself).
Since then I've knit a small purse, another scarf, a baby sweater (Baby's First Tattoo from SnB Nation - I'll picture it shortly), cat toys, a bath mitt (I started & finished that one last night, and when attempting to use it this morning had an Incident with the dye running like crazy), and two cellphone cozies.


cell cozies - "mac sock" for the boyfriend, pretty yellow for me

Projects currently on the needles include: A tank top (weather's waaaay to hot to worry about finishing a knit tanktop anytime soon), another scarf for a friend who missed the chirstmas spree (I think I'll need to frog this and start over), a tea cozy (ran out of wool... I bet another 3 feet or so would do me...).

Projects on the waiting list are: socks for me, socks for cousin Erin, scarf for cousin Erin.... and possibly chirstmas scarves for cousins? (shhhh!) and gator mitts! Yay!
