Today I knit a swatch to get gauge for a simple knit tee. My mother bought the pattern for me at Christmas, and I have yarn in my stash. After I got the gauge, I cast it on. Cheers for me!

It’s not incredibly complicated, but it’s several levels more complex than anything I’ve knit so far. If I can keep at it and just finish, it will help me break through my avoidance by perfectionism.
