This is me exactly. My major flaw was my kitchener.

potholders. If only I'd remembered from my learning to crochet days that acrylic potholders melt under cast iron pots. :

I didn't even attempt kitchener on my first soaker! I used the 3 needle bind off for the crotch. My ribbing was all screwy because I could not keep track of my knits and purls to save my life. It took me ages to figure that out!

A PIG! No really! This summer, I wanted to see if I could follow a pattern. Turns out that I can! I progressed to hats and mittens with plans for other critters. I finally got off my butt and learned because I went to a Sheep and Wool festival, fell in love with a knit felted sheep and bought two so my friend could make us one and one for herself. Then went home and said I CAN DO THAT! And it turns out I can. When I get the sheep and pattern back, I fully intend to make a flock of a variety of colors.

In the meantime...here is The Pig:
