I'll have to watch them with Abigail-- she'll want to try again right away, which maybe will motivate me to try again too. Right? :) Thanks, Tami!

Keep at it though - if nothing else, it's good exercise for the hands and fingers when you get older! ;) Oh, and I believe there are clips on Youtube showing the actual knitting - or find a local craft shop, I bet they'll love to show you!
