What on Earth?!?

I decided i was going to learn to knit last week when the power went out. Sewing is a great hobby but it doesn't work very well with no electricity. Besides knitting looks fun & its something to do while i try and get Jet to go to sleep at night (he wakes often after he is put down & i need to be next to him to shhhhhh him when he stirs).

So ive been trying to teach myself & heres what ive done so far:


What is it you may ask? well... i don't exactly know. My best guess is a blanket for a very fat, oddly shaped worm! The odd thing is that i haven't done that increase thing at all (well..not on purpose) but there seems to be lots more on the needle than when i started!

Now i need to find myself a real project to do. Most of the stuff ive looked at so far looks a bit challenging. Heres an up close shot of my dodgy knitting (holes & all):

Stay tuned to see if i actually manage to make anything useful :)
