charloweenI did knit this:
(from this pattern)
I know that washcloths are supposed to be beginners' stuff - testing out increases and decreases, practicing tension - but I skipped that stage and went right to knitting Daleks and lace. So, armed with 4mm needles and some bright cotton* and a search engine, I went looking for interesting patterns. I think I did pretty well. Maybe next I'll try a starfish.
*The shop I bought this from claimed it was aran-weight. Ravelry agrees. It's the thinnest, most DK-weight aran I've ever seen. Just saying.
I've said many times that I knit because it's such a relief to have a project where you know when you're done and can correct mistakes along the way. Or at least where the mistakes are noticeable (if you know what to look for) and sometimes fixable (if you catch them/if it matters).
Which is a long way of saying: schoolwork, UGH.
