I am sooooo NORMAL!!

I'm relatively new to knitting (2.5 yrs) and absolutely new to blogging! After finding and reading knitters blogs, I can say, I am a NORMAL knitter!! I have to touch yarn. I have enough yarn to wrap the earth twice over, and enough patterns that my grandchildren will never knit them all. Yippee Skippy I am a normal knitter!!
Some lessons I have learned.... frog means to rip out your knitting and start over.... (do NOT put said sweater in the donations bag!!) Buy at least 2 skeins of yarn (preferably 3) when you find something you just have to have!! What can you knit with one skein?? Other than a skinny scarf to go along with the 36 others you have!!
I hope to finish my second sweater in the near future, it's knit in 3 pieces. The back and arms are done (it's a kimono sweater) and the left front piece is finished. The right front I just started adding stitches for the sleeve. So, after finishing (block, and sew) I have to pick up stitches all the way around all openings and knit a ribbed edge. Maybe by spring??
I'm looking for new knitters, especially ones struggling as I am with that little porcupine named "dpn"....
