What's on the Sticks: current #knit project

So last night I was able to get out for an hour of knit night...I was a bit afraid to start my newest project because I am still a bit of a knitting newbie, and this project is out of my comfort zone. But I youtube'd the stitches(what is a knit in front and back and front again?!) and was 'feelin it' finally, and it helped that I had a super awesome knitter last night helpin' me along the way!

So here is the tiny beginning that it is currently:


and here is what I hope/pray that it 'grows up' to be:
(Thankyou LindaMNoble, this is almost exactly what i saw in my head for making out of this beautiful wool! It's perfect! sidenote: i absolutely LOVE this Rowan Summerspun, doesn't it just remind you of mermaids and seaweed? ok, well the pictures don't really do it justice, but really it's pretty darn awesome wool.)


What do you have on the sticks right now?

I think it's beautiful! I was going to learn how to knit once, but I still haven't done it! I started a scarf with a basic knitting (whatever) and it is still sitting in my closet in a tray I designated to knitting 6 years later. Some day. . . some day. . . Good for you! I DO love the color. Can't wait to see the finished project!
