I can't believe I'm knitting!

I have tried knitting several times and have not managed even one successful stitch. This time has been different!
I spent hours learning the slipknot and cast-on. I have ruined the yarn practicing. Finally I completed my first knit stitch!! What stumped me was the purl stitch. I spent another hour with Hilary on the webcam while she tried to teach me. Hilary searched the internet for video and found one on youtube.com. I still couldn't figure out the damn stitch. I decided that I needed to learn over again from scratch.
I searched and found knittinghelp.com. Using the videos I learned a new cast-on method, the Long-tail (very easy!) and eventually the Purl stitch!! Now I am trying to put it all together using a scarf pattern. I have not mastered it yet, but am well on my way!! I think in a week the scarf should be done, definitely in two weeks!
