I have narrowed it down to traditional slippers, made by knitting two pieces that are sewn together.
Not that I don't already have a lovely pair of felted slippers. No, my goal is to learn how to read a pattern and follow directions.
And to have a small project that I can easily tuck away, since all my other 'stuff' has been put away until after the shebang that is less than two weeks away!
I could continue with dishcloths, but I have been inspired by watching the Olympics, to try something new, to take a risk. After all, it's not like I am hurtling down a mountain at 80 miles an hour. If I screw up, I will just go back to dishcloths!

You have a sister that has enough yarn to share with you, you know.
I'm excited for you. It's not rocket science.
Actually, that should be TWO sisters. I not only have enough yarn...I am willing to share!
Enjoy the knitting - [planet Bignoggin, you crack me UP]. I wish I could knit, it would be perfect for watching the Olympics!
Good girl Jan! You can do this! Scarves can be easy or more complicated too. I know you don't need one in the desert, but you could always make one to give as a gift!
I got a great book for Christmas put out by the Interweave Press that has different knitting lessons by project. Lots of reading charts like doing counted x-stitch. It's called the Fearless Knitting Workbook. It's a great book!
Good for you! You are certainly branching out in your stitching with your new quilting skills and now new knitting. It's convenient that you have a sister who is an expert.
