A new talent

I am now officially a knitter. I taught myself how this past weekend (thank you Lion Brand!). I have probably ripped out as much as I have knitted, but I'm making progress on my first project! Not quite sure what it is going to be, but I am working with 10 1/2 gauge needles and some fun color change yarn. I cast on 26 stitches and practiced making some smooth cloth (alternating knitting and purling). I have moved on to ribbing now, so we'll see how it goes!

My biggest problem seems to be adding stitches. I think I've figured out how it happens, and I am really quite proficient at undoing knitting now :).

As soon as I have something worth taking a picture of, I'll add it!
