#34: Knit something.

i've always liked knitting, but i only know one "knit" (is that what you call it? like a stitch, but in knitting terms). i don't know how to read knitting patterns and i've never tried to learn. i can only knit squares and rectangles, which pretty much leaves me with scarves. and a girl only needs so many winter scarves.

but! i was really inspired for this knitting project, by my dear friend amanda, who is always a source of inspiration for me in many areas of my life. i was inspired for the construction of the scarf by one she knitted (out of denim she had taken apart and spun into yarn) for a fashion show last month. and my scarf was made out of yarn that she had given me--she may have even spun the yarn? i even improvised and figured out on my own how to knit in a stripe down the middle of it.
