From now on, my name shall be Knitter!

I'm really doing it!!!  I started a soaker and although I ran out of wool, I'm still almost finished!!!


 I didn't even know that this pattern created this pretty little border!  I'm SO happy with it!


It's definitely not perfect, though.  Look at this mess.

Um.  Oops.  I don't know what I did to create that huge hole but there it is.  It's right in the front of the soaker and makes me sad to see it.  I think it'll be easy enough to fix though. 

Besides this project that I've had to put down so I can order more wool, I started a new one last night.  It's just a hat but I'm doing a good job with it, too and that's such a big deal to me!  I can't believe that after all this time, knitting is FINALLY clicking!  FINALLY!

It's really admirable that you're adamant that you won't sell junk. I love etsy, but do end up having to trawl through a lot of very amateur stuff to find anything good. If only everyone took pride. Best of luck with it!

Oh I've bought junk on Etsy before, too. For example, I just bought some stitch markers that were adorable and I was thrilled when I got them in the mail but they didn't make it through one round of knitting before the little pearl dropped off. I was so annoyed. That happened to 2 of them and I have 8 left that I haven't even bothered to use because it seems like they'll all fall off. Meh. Anyway, thank you for the well-wishes!!! It's much appreciated!
