I suck at knitting

They say practice makes perfect. My fabric arts teacher things so too. That's why she got us to make 22 stiches by 22 stiches swatches to practice our knitting.
However, I guess the rule doesn't apply to me.
It's been three months into my fabric arts class, and see what I've accomplished so far!

From left to right: knitting swatch, purling swatch, stockinette swatch.
I even revisited my knitting swatch recently (because A: my other one sucked, and B: I gave it away) and you know what? I still see the suckiness still lingering thar.


Made with borrowed-from-school plastic knitting needles and purple cotton yarn and 100% half-assness!
