Sitting down to learn to knit

Well, I actually did it, I sat down to learn how to knit. First I oogled at all the pretty (and tacky) pictures of knitting projects from the library books. Then I got 3 books that seemed indepth, picked up the knitting needles and started to teach myself how to knit.








I had tried once before to teach myself, and it was useless. This time was the charm since I actually taught myself how to cast on, knit, and purl. My knitting stitch is backwards, don't know how that happened but it looks pretty as a finished product and doesn't seem to affect my knitting in any way, shape, form or fashion. At least not yet.







The kitten loves for me to knit. He just sits in my lap, plays with the yarn, then falls asleep. My first project is from the Martha Stewart website - the scarf for beginning knitters. It is looking pretty!!
