My first time

I did my first project back in June of '07. It was a hat. A simple one. 60 stitches on strait needles then folded over and sewn up the back. I got the pattern out of some teen knitting book I found on the bookmobile.

After many tries and errors it came out nicely. It took the entire duration of the trip to Columbus, IN from St. Louis, MO. I was tying off the stitches when we pulled up to my aunts house. I gave it to my nephew Alex. He said he liked it and that it was cool that I could knit, but he told me he'd tell his friends that his aunt made it so I wouldn't be embarrassed. (How sweet.) I told him that I wouldn't be, but if he thought it would embarrass him he could tell people whatever he wanted about it.
