A Swatch Was Made






After a trip to Joann's I finally got all the supplies I needed, including a basket to hold all my new yarn. I sat down with my book in hand, youtube at ready, and started my first cast on. This was probably the most difficult part for me as a beginner. After I got ten stitches I "erased" the whole thing and "casted on" a couple more times to get the hang of it. Twenty stitches wide, 30 rows long and now I have my very first swatch. It's Stitch'n Bitch, and I helped! Next project...a scarf. I plan on changing the color of my yarn as well so this should be tricky!
