I only started knitting last winter, when my grammie gave me a basic knitting kit for Christmas. Since then I've made a few dishclothes, and a pair of fingerless mittens. The mittens I sadly didn't finish until about April, just when I stopped needing them for the summer, but I've been making good use of them the last month or so.
Now that the weather's starting to get colder, I'm getting excited about knitting projects again. I'm just about done with the hat I started at the end of the summer (yeah, I'm still pretty slow). I'll post a picture next week when I find a button to finish it off. This one won't get much use by me either, though, since it turned out a little small. Christmas present for one of the nieces!
I haven't figured out yet what I'll do for my next project. The ones I've found lately that I like either seem a little too difficult for my skill level, or require a bigger yarn investment than I'm prepared for at the moment. I have to find something this week, though, because I'm off to Windsor Button next weekend to finish up that hat, and I'm hoping to pick up some new yarn too.
In the meantime, I did find a sweater that I aspire to making. I'm not sure it'll be my first (and therefore the one I get to check off my list), but it looks cozy and totally doable, if a tad complicated. Here's a photo from berroco.com, which has the pattern posted:
