These two are easily my worst stitches. My stockinette has gotten better but my garter always seems to have weird gaps. Thank goodness for blocking natural fibers.
I have so much scrap yarn in my stash I'll be practicing my stockinette in cat toys. I suppose I can practice garter with kerchiefs.
I don't need my knitting to be perfect, but I want to be able to look as though I'm not completely new to it.

Several projects lined up
I already have several projects lined up for the next few months. I'm going to finish the felted bad I'm currently working on. Then I have yarn that is intended to be wrist warmers, yarn for mittens, Zeeby's bag, and a scarf.
That should keep my hands and needles busy for the next few months.

First bag
I'm currently working on my first knitted bag. It will also be my first time felting. The bag is made out of Cascade 220 yarn, in graduated shades of purple.
So far it is shaping up very nicely. This is the first time I've used circulars to knit in the round. Prior to this I only use circulars to knit flat, and did all my knitting in the round on double pointed needles.
Later on I plan to make Zeeby's Bag from the book Stitch N' Bitch, I already have the yarn. For that bag I will probably get some fabric to line it with.

Christmas projects and digital camera
I'm working on several projects for gifts this year. Socks, poncho, shawl, books marks, maybe a scarf or two. Everything I make this year will need to be quick since I don't have much time. As it is November is half over.
I wish I had a digital camera, so I could take pictures of my finished projects or chart the progress though pictures. But that will have to wait until I have more disposable income. Besides at the moment if I have extra cash, I'm going to going to use it on higher quality yarn.

Second pair of socks
I'm currently working on my second pair of socks. This time using the Lion Brand Blue Stripe yarn. These socks will be a gift however. The first sock is finished, so I just need to start on the second. When the semester is over I'm going to start the felted bag pattern. After that I may make another afghan.
