I picked up knitting needles last night, for the very first time ever, and tried to follow a "Teach Yourself How To Knit" booklet. Now this thread comes up today with instructions for a fairly simple project. But I am still all thumbs with the dang needles. How that for self-inflicted jonesing?

Anyway, thanks, ScottInNewHampshire, for the instructions and pics. I'll let you know in a couple years if I accomplished anything wearable.
