Learning to Knit

Thanks to Aaron's Ma, I am learning to knit. :) It's something
that I've wanted to learn for awhile now. I had picked up some books
but couldn't get anywhere with them. I needed someone to actually
show me how to do the stitches, how to cast on and cast off.
This is my first project, just straight knitting. Easy but good for practise.
Then I decided to go all crazy and combine stitches and
learn to follow a pattern. This one didn't turn out the best
but it's ok.

My next attempt at using a pattern and diferent stitches.
A little bit better. :)

They turned out great, Cindy. I taught myself by watching knitting videos on the internet. - Rhonda
