I ran across some of my older knitted projects--this one was the very first attempt I made at knitting. I had no idea about swatching and gauge, it was a cheap kit and I just knit with what I had, no. 8 needles and some acrylic yarn. It's soooo stiff I was able to set it on its side...

Since it will melt if I try to use it as a potholder, I might make some snappy little coats for my three Jack Russells.

Fortunately, a preexisting dislike for synthetic materials protected me from making too heinous a fiber choice for my first projects.
