Totally OT: Knitting

So after having the desire to learn how to knit for a few years, and after having a friend show me only for me to start and stop several times, and after buying a book only to start and stop several times, I think I *finally* learned how to knit. There is a really neat knit-yarn store near my house (The Purly Gates) that offered a beginner knitting class yesterday, so I went. I thought maybe I'd be confused since I'd already 'learned' how a few times before, but the instructor was great and the other student and I seemed to pick it up quickly. I came home and did a few things around the house (non-knitting), but around dinner time I got scared that I might have forgotten my skillz, so I quickly picked it up and started again. Since there was a football game on last night that Lehr wanted to watch, I had nothing else to do (other than put away the remainder of the Christmas decorations, or the looming house projects that prevent us from putting our house on the market) than knit. Voila! So far so good! I picked a colorful ball of yarn to start with, so hopefully this first project will become a bee-yootiful scarf in the near future.
