How is my knitting going you ask?

I had my first knitting lesson back on March 12th.  So two months later here is what I have learned:

• I can do a slip knot; albeit looking at instructions on the internet, I just need to do it more often.
• I can cast on
• I can cast off
• I can do both the knit and purl stitches
• I can follow a very simple pattern
• I can "knit in the round."
• I know how to "k2tog," which means knit two stitches together.

All of the above I feel confident in doing.

I have even finished knitting two items that are wearable:

These are toddler knitted hats, using this pattern.  I knit this hat first:

Then this hat on Tuesday/Wednesday, I am finding it a lot looser knit for some reason?

My baby blanket is a work in progress but I am in no hurry to finish it.  I do want to make another toddler hat, so that I have one for each of the grands.  I still have a LOT to learn with this knitting.  I would like to knit a pair of mittens next, but even the simplest mittens knitting pattern confuses me still.

Overall I am pleased with my progress and even if all I ever learn to knit is hats and blankets, both are useful things.  I still go to the knit and sit session on a Tuesday and I thoroughly enjoy myself and the advise they give me is super.
