Lets see, I'm supposed to loop this around here, and then . . . oops

I am attempting to learn how to knit. It's not going very well and the webpage with the pretty color-coded picture guides seems to have disappeared into the ether in between the time I took to walk from Cowden to Tinsley. This is making it a bit difficult for me to continue to screw up.

Why don't I ever remember that I'm rubbish at this kind of craft project? I don't think we ever managed to unknot the yarn from the time I attempted to crochet. I swear the only thing I can manage to do reliably with string is pull it through my neck.
