Love your sheep

I love all your knitted projects. I only wish I had learned knitting yrs ago. A woman in our sewing club comes to knit and crochet. She is trying to help about 3 of us learn a little at a time. I messed up some fingerless gloves so trying an easier pattern. Now to get past the cast on part. My needles are too long and my hands hurt. I won't break down and buy shorter needles as I feel this is not my calling. I purchased a knit hat pattern she said would be next but no next to me if I can't get started on these gloves. God bless you for showing all your lovelies. I used to crochet all the time. Now my hands hurt and I couldn't read all the new symbolized patterns they have now---I guess I am old fashioned in how I learned and read a pattern or to just look at something and figure it out. I love your things.
