I finally got it down!!! I can knit, although it does take me a couple minutes to finish a row because I go so slowly. But the important thing is that I can actually knit now! I have, admittedly, swapped out the colored pencils for actual knitting needles. Made the whole process a lot easier.
I find that I freak out a lot if I think I've dropped a stitch. I continually count the stitches in the row, even if I know I didn't drop one. I'm just weird. And I did pretty good, too!!! I did ten rows without dropping a single stitch. But that's when I thought it would be a cool idea to knit in my living room while I made tea. See, I have this dog. A standard poodle named Carli. Adorable dog, I love her to bits. Sadly, she loved my knitting to bits and om nom nomed it. So what was going to be a lovely eye-glass cloth for cleaning is now destroyed. I was so upset I haven't tried to knit since.
But I'm going to make a deal with myself! If I can knit 30 rows without dropping a stitch or letting Carli eat my project, I'm going to get spiffy new yarn and knitting needles. Good idea? Hopefully. Gawd, I can't wait until I can knit awesome things. I CAN'T WAIT!!!!
