Calorimetry! Finished!
I added some ties (might bead them later) and sent Kati to school in it. She thinks it’s pretty and was happy to wear it.
But when I offered to make one for Sera too, and Sera said to make it yellow, Kati decided she wanted a turquoise one. So I’ll get to keep this one. =)
I just hope she can take care of it at school. I’d hate for it to get damaged or lost already! Or at all… I’d prefer to keep it in my collection, as one of my first major knitted pieces. 
But I’m fairly confident she’ll bring it home safe. She’s a pretty responsible fourth-grader. =)
So… here is a quick list of what I have learned from knitting this piece, Calorimetry:
- slip stitch
- short rows using stitch markers
- loose bind-off
- reading a pattern
- adjusting a pattern
- diving in even if you don’t understand yet, ’cause that’s the best way to learn
- knitting is far easier than I ever imagined

Yay for Calorimetry! I wear mine every day
It’s a good quick knit, full of good lessons for the new knitter.
BTW! Have you checked out the entrepreneural dreams forum on ravelry? It’s full of people in the knitting and yarn business, or those who are interested in starting their own businesses. I just sent you an invite
