I'm officially an "old lady"

So I started taking knitting classes from a lady in my ward about 3 weeks ago and our first project was a wash cloth. A friend of mine called me today and asked me what I was doing and I told her I was knitting...she told me that I was too young to be doing that. So yes, I am officially an old lady!!! Anyway, I still haven't learned how to purl but here is my first project! (okay don't laugh at me...I was pretty proud of myself!)
