Catching up - October 18

So I decided I wanted to take up knitting....long story involving my left-handed handicap, various frustrating attempts to teach me and my own bloody-mindedness....suffice it to say,at the ripe old age of 38 I finally 'got it'. 

Behold my practice swatch....stunning, isn't it?

Which does quite well as a warm, woolly blanket for a toy horse.....

Thank you Savannah, your support and generosity made it possible for this inaugural piece to find a useful purpose....
