The First Attempt

Today I started what looks like my first hat or toque. :) I actually had to start over 3 times now but that's fine. At least I'm trying really really hard right? It's the effort that counts. :) I tell that to myself so I don't feel completely disappointed. Turns out that little hook like thing is very important... I'm currently borrowing a friend's knitting circle and borrowed the hook in class. I can't really "do" anything at home now. :/ Is there some extremely easy way to make one? I think paper clips might have been an option but I think they're going to bend WAY too easily. I don't know if it's because I made a mistake but on the first knob of each set (is that the right term? lol) it's really hard to pull the bottom yarn over the top. It's looser after that though. :) I think I'll just go buy one during the weekend. It seems much simpler. :)
