lookie what i made!

start to finish: long-tail cast-on, basic knit stitch, basic cast-off. i made somethin, yay! what did i make? err...umm...a rectangle! it appears that i skipped a stitch in there somwhere, but only one. now what made it almost magically come together this time around? no idea. i think i haven't done anything for a few days. maybe it just needed some time to marinate. lol - or incubate perhaps... who knows. in any event, progress is being made.  yay. and uh once it's just kinda working it's pretty cool. not going to jump headlong into the purl yet. maybe in a few days tho instead of a couple weeks. if i'd had another hour or so to spend on this tonight i coulda had a potholder. *grin*

my last few efforts were done w/ the kid's shorter needles. maybe tomorrow i'll whip the long ones back out and see how well i handle them. maybe try something longer. still not ready to do it in public where people may get hurt (ie the train). haha
