OK here's a lousy picture of the first hat I ever finished. I'll get a better one uploaded here soon.

We took the class in november some time from The Lamb Shoppe (awesome yarn store in Denver) and they started us on a scarf the first Sunday and started us on a hat the second, then on the third Sunday I think we kind of worked through stuff. And then there was a two week break for the holidays and we drove down to Los Alamos to spend some time with the folks and I knit, and knit, and knit and it was great! I got stuck at one point and we went down to Sante Fe and found a yarn store there The Needle's Eye and she helped get me straightened out and on my way.

Bottom line, I was able to finish my hat for my husband while we were down there!  It was very totally wickedly inspiring to actually finish my first project and my darling husband wore it, no kidding, non-stop for about two months.

He's adorable.

Now I think I've finished about 5 hats, 2 scarves with 2 more nearly done and 1 more started, and a cowl, and I've started a small bag from http://knitty.com/ISSUEwinter06/PATTbrownbag.html
