When I first started knitting I honestly didn't know what I was thinking. I had never taken any classes on the subject nor had anyone ever taught me the basics. I just got the Idea to go buy some needles, yarn and a book and I sat down and taught myself. Who does that? Srsly! Meanwhile, I became hooked after I somehow figured out how to make fingerless gloves. The book I chose didn't tell me weather the pattern was easy or difficult, but I assumed It looked easy enough. Wrong! I had to search the internet to figure out what the stitches were. The project took me 4 days to complete, and know a year and a half or so later, I am still proud of my mits, even if they are a bit wonky. The pattern was intermediate and I did it as my first project. Since then I have approched all my projects the same way. I don't care if they have difficult stitches, because I'll just learn them. I said before that every bump in the road is a chance to learn and I whole heartedly believe that is true. Don't be intimidated. Well... it's okay to feel that way, but don't let it stop you from achieving something.
