What to knit today

So I'm not a huge knitter.  But I like it.  And more importantly I like, or rather love, yarn. All colors, textures, kinds.  I know two stitches.  Knit and purl.  If you can do a knit stitch, you can do a purl; they are opposites of each other.  However, this is not a knitting lesson.  If you want to learn to knit, use youtube.

I have discovered the square.  Yes, the square.  If you can knit a square, you can make all kinds of cool things.  Two squares together and you have a bag.  Two squares with a rectangle between them and you have another bag.  Take a square and fold it in half and you have a hat (after stitching up the sides)..I would recommend it for a child... take the same square (well actually a different square, but whatever) and fold it in half again and stitch up the sides leaving a hole and wa-la you have fingerless gloves.  Several squares together and you have a blanket.  Use one square and sew it to fabric and stuff in a pillow. Heck, use two and forget the fabric.  Seat cover, book cover, glasses case, Nook case, laptop case.  A really long one into a scarf.  Sew the ends together and it is an infinity scarf.  Make a skinny one and you can put it around your Starbuck's coffee to keep your hands from burning.

The possibilities are endless.  Now get knitting!
