Well, I've gotten the proper knitting needles now and found a pattern I fell in love with instantly. Instead of making something simple like a hat or scarf, I am making a Ribbed Lace Bolero. I've been working on this project for about 3 weeks now. I found the pattern at here. This is what the finished project is to look like:
I have re-started this project 8 times I believe. Until I finally understood the whole turning your work idea. I was thinking when the work ends up on the right needle you would continue with the left needle. WRONG! You simply take the work and turn it to be in your left hand and work with your right hand. So after I realized this I got the ribbed portion underway. Looks great too:
Then I got to the lace portion. Luckily after 3 attempts at it without assistance, I found this video tutorial here.
The pattern says to switch to a size 10.5 needle after the first row of lace, but I've stayed with a size 8 intentionally and this is what my lace is looking like:
Now on day 3 of this project this is what I have so far :)
