I have a little mantra I've been repeating to myself recently: sucking at something is the first step to being sorta good at something*. I don't think that I suck at knitting, but I do suck at measuring sleeves and casting on in the round, at least right now. But I finished those sleeves, and I'm now working on the yoke. I think I'm going to suck at the collar. Probably on the third attempt, I'll be sorta good at it.
