Small Needles and Fine Yarn

First time I have knitted with this small of a needle and this fine of a yarn. I like small projects because they usually finish quick. But this is not a quick project for me. I have to focus and take my time so I do not make a mistake. I want to make this for a loose leaf notebook, so I am shooting in the dark about how long to make the back part. I started with the Back first because I was having a hard time understanding the directions for the front due to my inexperience. I re-read the directions every time I finish knitting a few rows of the back part. I have had to look up several of the abbreviations to find out what they mean. Thank goodness for the chart provided. However, there is one abbreviation they do not provide the info for...SRI...

So, not only do I need to look up and find out what SRI means, I need to look up double Knitting because one of the people, on Ravelry, who made this project mentioned double knitting while talking about knitting this project.

Maybe I can find a youtube on this.

Arm Knitting

Watched a YouTube video showing how to knit without needles. Made three cowls with this method. It was fun and the project of Arm Knitting a cowl is very quick.
