Finally Getting Started

I have joined a number of KAL (knitting along) groups on Yahoo. Most of these are concerned with squares which can be used as dish/wash cloths. I am doing most of mine as squares for afghans, however. The designers in these groups are really getting me thinking about creating patterns as well.
My first KAL project is almost finished (Valentine candy box). I did make one change in the pattern: I am using seed stitch for the borders instead of garter. In the next few weeks I will be getting a digital camera so I can show you how everything turns out.
