what's up

My knitting went from bad to worse.

When I very first started,

I planned to keep 

(maybe even frame!)

 my very first little square.

Except

it's not a square.

I had anywhere from 24 to 28 stitches on my needle

at any given time.

Apparently I have a knack for 

miraculously adding stitches.

So I would decrease

- at least I think that's what I'd do -

next thing I'd know,

I'd have an extra stitch or three.

And holes.

A couple of big holes, scattered here and there.

 ~sigh~

But I'm not giving up, I casted on (cast on? cast on-ed?) again last night.

I started with 26 stitches

and, after 14 rows, I still have 26.

So far, so good.

In addition to learning to knit,

this weekend I added another skill to my 

jack-of-many-trades master-of-none repertoire.

I like learning how to do new things,

or rather - I like being able to do many different things,

but I really want to find time to sit at my sewing machine

sometime soon.

I miss creating with good ole fabric.

And the speed of creating with fabric!
