I did it without a loom!

Great job Pamo. The reason I wanted to start knitting is to make those bags. I picked up the needles for the first the first time last night and I can now cast on and knit. I keep tearing it apart and each time I do it again, it looks better.

Good job Pami! It will get more comfortable and fast as you keep at it. I have a great idea - pick some patterns - a whole bunch - go buy the wool you will need and knit up all the swatches for practice...........Ok well maybe not the most practical idea but sounds like a whole lot of fun!

Thanks Pami, the third time should be the charm. That is how many it took me to get it where it looked right. Good luck. I tried to make some almost leather handles work by using some recycled ones but it turned out bad so I will have to think of something else to do.

Pami, I knew you would be a natural! See, it really isn't hard, it just takes some practice to get the feel for it. Don't be scared to try new things. Margaret has propelled me forward to try things that I didn't think or wasn't sure I could do. I wouldn't wait to try anything you feel like doing. I was on straight needles for like 3-4 months and am kicking myself because I love circulars so much! But, that's just my personal taste. You can do it!

Great Pami, I know you will love this knitting. All your attention to detail and organizational skills will make you a great knitter. I hope it brings you many hours of pleasure.
