Sunday I was struck by a whim to get something from the fabric section of Walmart and actually accomplish something with my unemployment. So I picked up a couple balls of yarn, a set of knitting needles, and a fifty cent pattern book. I taught myself to cast on that night, and in the next few days, I've accomplished something amazing-a 7"x7" swatch of pretty fabric (it's got a color pattern built in, so there's a couple stripes of pink, then a stripe of rosebuds, then more pink, etc). I'm calling it a scarf at this point, because I don't want it to be simply a practice square or a dishtowel or whatever. Both of my daughters are claiming it :D.
