too be honest, i don't remember 0_0
it's because i did it in sections and then there were periods where i stopped for a long while. hmm...it's pretty straight forward minus the
intarsia (the heart part in this case). so, i figure if you do some everyday
it would take less than a month. haha sorries - not very good at estimating times for projects

Cute! I've never tried knitting, but I've wanted to knit a scarf and legwarmers. Would you recommend Stitch 'n Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook for beginners just starting knitting, or should some basic knowledge be known on knitting beforehand?

The giraffe is cute too.

my sister has that book...she knows how to knit..i should ask her to teach me haha

yesh. i call it my sexy nameless giraffe =)

the book has everything you need to know to get started as a knitter. although i learned how to knit with the klutz kit - their book has super super easy instructions and diagrams (well so does stitch 'n bitch, but i found the klutz book easier to understand if you just want to learn the basics).

oh my god i want to knit so bad, but i think i should master my craft of sewing first

[cookiebubble]

omg! that is really cute. i bought a stich n bitch book a while ago. i always wanted to do intarsia but it looks SUPER hard! how did you learn to do it? i also dont really understand stich n bitch's lingo. i know what k and p mean, but other than that i dont know. i also think that's great you had enough patience for that.

cute bag!! if it was on sale, i'd buy it! the green looks beautiful and the heaartt <3 nice backpacks are so hard to come by.. usually all the cute ones come in messenger form. i def think u should make and sell them! it's gorgeous @_@

[LittleCocoMoo]

That is AMAZING!!! So kawaii! I wish I could knit like that *is jealous* I love the detail with the heart...hehe and that giraffe is cute too!
