I am in shock! I was able to turn this:
Into this:
A BABY BOOT! Can you believe it!? I was able to knit something! Now, this is a very very simple pattern that I followed; you knit a square and then a little square and then sew them together (in an odd and seemingly nonsensical way...but it did turn into a rather adorable boot). The pattern in the book didn't have pom-poms on the end of the string. Actually, the pattern didn't have a string at all, it just had a tie-thing that looked like it wouldn't ever stay on a kicking baby foot.Anyway, I'm very very proud of my knitting accomplishment. The doors of the knitting world have been flung open and I am excited to rush right in! Both my sister and sister-in-law are due in the next few months and I can't wait to whip up a whole pile of these cozy toe-warmers. Heck, I may even venture out even further and try making a baby toque! There's no stopping me now! I AM OFFICIALLY A KNITTER!
