Geting the Knitting Know-How

For the longest time I have desired very much to learn how to knit. I remember sitting next to a woman on the airplane that was knitting a pair of socks and I was so fascinated by the talent and the patience that it takes. I have known how to crochet, (I am not very good at it) but I think knitting opens up a whole world of projects. From blankets, to scarves, to sweaters. Sweaters may come 30 years down the road. For now my main goal is to make a blanket composed of many squares for my baby boy.
I am so thankful for the Internet and web videos. I sat in front of my computer yesterday and followed the instructions for a basic knit stitch. And the pics below are the result of starting over at least 100 times. But I am getting the feel for it. I am so excited to keep going. I have always wanted to find something that I am good at. I am not a scrapbooker, or a sewer, but hey, maybe soon, I will be a master knitter! Keep posted for the progress, and hopefully I will have pics of the finished product in 3 months from now!
