i'm knitting!

so, i have been looking at nook cases on etsy.com and falling in love with the looks of the knitted ones. i didn't want to spend a butt-load on one. i thought - hey, i can do that! i've been able to crochet (kinda) for years, but i have never been able to figure out knitting. then i saw this yarn at micheals and fell in love. i got some bamboo needles and spent the day trying to figure it out.

after about 4 "do overs" i was finally getting the hang of it.

i got a little cocky and decided to try a ribbed cuff at the top. it didn't turn out too awful...

i couldn't figure out how to lash it all together after i was done. going down the side did not go well.

for the bottom i tried crocheting it. it looks a bit odd, but not as bad as the side.

it fits snugly and is so nice and soft! i'm very pleased with myself.
