I can knit!

My first ever knitting "project" - a little swatch I made after watching videos on knittinghelp.com  

Going from left to right:  Garter Stitch, Stockinette stitch, ribbing, decreases (k2tog & SSK-improved) and increases (M1A and M1T). I don't like the increases - the holes are too big. But I am pretty pleased with myself considering I have never knit before! And thanks go to MrM for chopping my too-long needles in his workshop.
 
I wonder whether I need a new label for knitting now. Next task - knit bib.

Your knitting is looking good! We'll be able to knit together when I come in October.
