FINISHED!

It took a while, but I am (finally) finished with my first knitting project: my scarf. I ripped out several portions and redid them (other people probably would not have noticed the imperfections, but I would have known they were there), but overall I think it turned out pretty well for a first try. I am excited to wear it this winter.

Now I am on to my next project: a crocheted hat. The pattern says it is supposed to be easy, but I have ripped it out and restarted at least three times (what you see below is after two hours of knit club, that's how much ripping I did). I refuse to let things be misshapen or funky-looking just because I made them; if I am going to take the time to make it, I might as well do it right.  It might be a while before I finish the hat, but I am definitely enjoying learning new skills!
