Check it out. This is the very first thing I’ve knitted from a pattern. It’s a potholder! For such a simple-looking item, it was ridiculously complicated. I had to pull it apart and restart about ten times. (It didn’t help that whoever wrote the pattern was an idiot.) I’m pretty proud of it though. Now I’m on to bigger and better things. I used this great site (link courtesy of Megan) to generate a pattern for a striped Gryffindor scarf! If all goes well, some of you might even be getting these for Christmas this year! 🙂
