Halfway done with knitting class!

I am halfway done with my 4 week long knitting class....it meets on Saturday mornings for 2 hours. I did start knitting when I was 18, however, I never really pursued the craft except to make some scarves. I also never learned to purl and my friend Kali cringed when she saw how I cast on when she tried to teach me how to use a circular needle. So I turned away from knitting and focused on crocheting....but now I am getting back into knitting because I want to make a sweater (eventually).
Either way, I am now in love with addi needles. And I can cast on, do the garter stitch AND purl. So I am on my way to great things with knitting! Hooray!
In the crochet world, however, I'm working on an afghan called "Wedding Roses" from the book Great Big Crochet Afghan Book. It calls for worsted weight yarn, the suggested yarn is Red Heart Super Saver in an off-white and a G hook, however, I substituted Caron Simply Soft in Autumn Red and an H hook instead. It also calls for 6 panels of 3, but instead I am going to do 8 or 9 panels because the width is not quite there. Either way, I have until December 24 to finish this!! I will post pictures when I have some of my WIP!
