Hmmm. I’m hearing from other yarnsters that they have several projects going at once. Not I.
One at a time, my dear, one at a time. Kind of like men.
If you mosey to my crocheting blog you’ll see the curtain project that took months and months and months … and months.
Even though I promised myself a quick, down and dirty project, I’m on to the lovely blue leaf afghan. I think I like torturing myself.
But, here’s a gander at one of my first knitting project. Now be kind and don’t laugh to loudly.
It’s a hat, mittens (if you want to call them that) and scarf set from a kit I picked up at Target. I believe the kits are called “Make This”. I’ve got a couple of others, too.
The project went pretty quick — I worked on it during my lunch hour at work while I worked on my curtains at home at night. Huh. Guess that makes me a two projects at a time chick after all 
The scarf came out alright. The stitches are a bit uneven, but I can live with that.
The hat came next. I made it twice. It came out way too small the first time — and the seaming was even worse than this 
But, before I ripped it out and re-knitted it, I made the mittens just to be sure I’d have enough yarn in the kit.

I purposely took a picture of the seamed side, because I think it’s important for new knitters to see that we ALL struggle at first. Doing is the only way I know of to learn something and learn it well.
While I won’t be wearing this set in public, I’ll keep them. Perhaps someday I rip them apart and reuse the yarn. In the meantime, I’ll just keep plugging away.
