Beginner Ruana

So I said I ripped off the work I started on my sister’s wrap.

I have started a couple of rows on a stole, in this case it’s called the Beginner Ruana. I’m working on the first front and back, and so far it’s been pretty easy to follow. I’m trying not to look too far ahead into the pattern because I’m seeing something that I think will worry me, and it calls for help. Hehe. (I just know I’m going to be asking Phisch [she does awesome knitting!] about it.)

I’d say my knitting is coming along well. I had trouble in the beginning, working out the hand/needle coordination. I think I’ve gotten the hang of it, though.

I realized something funny about myself while working on this. I’m really very contradictory because while I really would like immediate gratification, I find that I don’t like doing small projects. Even when I’m a beginner. I like ‘em big and overwhelming. This stole aint too big, though. But the ripple afghan sure was!
