I told my family I taught myself to knit, and here is the proof.  My sprained wrist in November set me back, but I've been able to finish quite a few. 

The red one was my 2nd attempt, middle 1st attempt, 3rd is one I made for Tristan.

These are all types of fun fur scarves, black, copper, gold and and a grey/blue.

This is one I just finished:

I do believe I have mastered the scarf and it is time to move on to more challenging projects.  Now I just need to remember to wear them.
