My Last Attempt At Knitting

I'm not a very good knitter. I've tried to be. I even taught myself before I enrolled in a beginner's knitting class a few years back. (I'm left-handed and I know how hard it is to try to teach something like this to a left-handed person. My teacher really appreciated it.) I've knitted a few scarfs here and there and a hat or two but nothing I'm proud of, that's fo' sho'. I tend to only pick it up when someone is in the hospital because of the portability issues. Here's the scarf I was working on while I was in the hospital. It's for my 6 yr. old fashonista/princess niece (we've always called her the princess but I think her new name is going to be the "fashionista" because that is what she truly is). Like I said, it's nothing I'm proud of and I'm only showing it because it's probably the last thing I'm ever going to knit. I just can't seem to get the hang of it and I can't even follow the simple pattern of knit one row, purl the other. I'm much more of a Sewer than a Knitter.

Although, I've wanted one of THESE for YEARS. Maybe someday I'll attempt it or find someone who'll do it for me in some kind of trade, but until then I can only dream about doing it as well as gaining better knitting abilities.
