OK, so maybe not my first real project. I've made four scarves and one other baby cardigan. But I actually paid for this pattern (not that I stole the others -- they were just free!), so somehow it seems more official.
It also seems ten times harder than anything I have done before. I don't even understand the instructions. But that's how I felt about the other baby cardigan at first. I figure that it's best to challenge yourself. Otherwise, I'd still be knitting those scarves, over and over again, with their incessant cables.The yarn is from Ariadne, which I have to say was not as exciting as I thought it would be. Less selection than Mouline, and although it's definitely stylish, I wasn't awed. I don't know, maybe I'm just not as excited about yarn shopping as others. But I really love searching it on Etsy, so that's not quite true.
Maybe I'm just an online yarn shopper instead. I think I'm going to leave it at that.

This yarn, along with the Opal 4-ply that I bought, is hopefully going to work out eventually to become Angle (Ravelry link here), by Tora Froseth. The nice thing about paying for a pattern is that Tora is available for troubleshotting. The way I'm going, she's probably be wishing that she charged me twice as much!
Oh well, back to the grindstone. I have a paper due tomorrow on Kate Chopin's stellar novel, The Awakening. I've hardly even started. But it was worth it. I wound my new skein instead!
