"Problems cannot be solved at the same level of awareness that created them." – Albert Einstein

Now that I am back on my feet, I have to take some satisfaction that my period of indisposition wasn’t a complete waste of time.  

Behold my first garment:

A sweater for me!

Excuse the crappy photo taken from my iPhone and the oh-so-lovely towel backdrop (I was blocking the sweater at the time I took the photo).  It’s a pretty simple sweater as sweaters go; it’s knit in one piece and is sleeveless to go over another long-sleeved shirt.  But it fits me, and I made a whole garment from string.  FROM STRING I TELL YOU!*

Knitting is just freaking magic.

 

 

*Hats and socks are not garments – they are accessories and therefore do not count in my “garment” paradigm.

    I have crocheted on and off my whole life, it seems, and I couldn’t in a million years do that. It’s gorgeous!

    I am so impressed. Try as I might, I am only an afghan/scarf girl.

    AWESOME! You’ll have to explain one day what blocking is and how it is done.

    I’m steadily working on my list of hats. I’m on hat #4. I have 2 more in queue. Then I must learn to make socks!

    Congrats.

    That’s a lot of persistance. And a lovely end result as well.

    How cool is that. I want to learn to knit. Is that a commercial pattern?
