Super cute! I am in the process of learning (or rather relearning - I knew how as a child) to knit as well. It seems SO much more awkward than crochetting for me!

I might have to get that pattern, if for no other reason than maybe it will show me the light in terms of knitting. I just don't find it intuitive at all!

I know!! I've been crocheting since i was 9 (though, mostly since 20)... its like breathing... knitting - well, i'm getting there It helps i think that i am also working on teaching my kids to knit (finger knitting for now)

I know... i've tried before (thanks to the knittinghelp.com videos) and i got this pattern out of the blue and it was like a light went off.
