Knit, Purl, Knit, Purl...um Knit?

Well have started the hat for the baby. Amanda was a good teacher and I think I have the stiches down but I can't count to save my life. How I can mess up on alternating two stiches is beyond me. I have started over 4+ times and now I my hopes for a "good" hat are diminishing. The yarn is so cute and soft and I can't really see the individual stiches so that makes it look better but then again that may be my problem. I fully anticipate having to start over again. Maintaining consistent tension is also hard. For all I know this hat may fit me when I am done.

I will post a picture of my beginning when I find the cord to my camera...and my camera. I should be cleaning instead of knitting.

Hope everyone had a good Thansgiving. We are going to Yazoo City tomorrow so we aren't done yet, which I like.
