For Christmas Ben gave me some knitting needles and a gift certificate to a local yarn shop. I went in january and they taught me a few simple stitches and got me started on a scarf. I ended up getting busy and set it aside for a few months, then picked it up again and worked on it and had to start if over from the beginning 3 times before I figured some things out :). BUT, I did finish it, then got a book and some more yarn and between the book and looking up videos online I taught myself how to do a few more stitches and read patterns and I made a hat for the baby!
The very top of the hat isn't quite finished yet, I reached a point where I need a little help and the ladies at "Yarn Quest" said they could show me a better way to finish it off than what the pattern says. It's not perfect but I am pretty proud of it considering it is my first project off a pattern.
