I can knit!

I've referenced my knitted bowl several times...it's about time I post about it! Over a year ago, I tried to learn to knit by working on a dishcloth on some super long straight needles. It took a lot to get the needles to cooperate with me, and the knit stitches were taking forever on this dishcloth. Finally I gave up and went back to crocheting everything.
I still wanted to learn to knit, especially socks. Crocheted socks just aren't the same. I also really want to do cable knitting, though I have been really impressed lately with some of the crocheted cables I've done. Since socks are knitted in the round on either DPNs (double pointed needles) or circular needles, I figured I'd better learn how to operate those. I also wanted to make some trinket bowls for my sewing space -- I have a lot of things that don't have a home or I need close by and not dig through a lot of stuff to get to them. So....I decided to knit a bowl out of 100% wool, so I could felt it.
DPNs took a little bit of getting used to, and my bowl suffered a 2 year old induced "fall" off the needles, after which it needed to be started over. After the 2nd start, though, it went very well.

Once I finished the bowl, it took me forever to get it felted, but it's finally done!
