What’s your knitting experience?

I saw this on Robin’s blog today (I get all my great ideas from her!) and thought I’d play along. I am currently seaming on my Cable-Collar Tank so hopefully pictures will follow tomorrow morning. I was too busy spending family time at the in-laws this weekend and then cleaning like a mad woman on Sunday. I just don’t know what got into me? LOL.

As Robin says, “feel free to steal it and play along!”

To keep it simple I’ll use the same formatting too. Here’s what it means:

Italicized = Plan to try this
