First project!

Taking a piece of advice from one the nice moderators over at ravelry, I decided to start by knitting a potholder instead of a scarf. I think this was definitely a good idea! The suggested pattern helped me practice knitting & purling, as well as the seed stitch.

I'm about 50% done right now - I did mess up a few points, but it's learn as you go! The next one will turn out better, and the one after that even better. My next project, once I get a good hang of knitting again, will be a pretty scarf.

I am noticing hand/arm fatigue from knitting... As well as I tend to clench my jaw in concentration... I need to stop this! I purchased a couple of those stress relief gloves, so hopefully that will help. I have tendonitis from all the typing and mousing from work, so my hands are already in "delicate" condition. So I can't knit everyday, at least not while I'm still all tense. I'm alternating evenings of knitting and icing my hands... Ahh, getting old is awesome. ;)
