finished: first project

i was feeling crafty tonight, but couldn't quite figure out what to do with the stuff i have around. i grabbed my very first knitting project--the yarn i used when learning how to knit--and decided it was high time i finished it. (some of you may remember my perfectionist rounds of starting over and over and over in order to make sure i knew how to knit.) :)

so i did.

AND, i managed to comprehend and successfully execute online knitting instructions. it pained me to not go knocking on amy's door, but i really wanted to see if i could (sigh) figure out knitting by myself for future projects.

and i did.

i LOVE the sweet knitted closure sarah. i feel strongly about appropriate to the media closures, and you have hit on a good one!

thanks, mom. you can't see the detail, but it's yarn glued in a swirl pattern onto a circular piece of felt. i placed a unique silver button that has a sparkly stone in the center of the swirled yarn, and made a button out of it. it looks pretty good; i'm not sure how it'll hold up, but it was fun to make.

i didn't mean to get my head in the shot. that's why i was looking away--from the flash. but then i decided against cropping my head out. i was happier when i wasn't taking my picture :)
