I really need to learn how to knit.

I bought a pattern off etsy to make this:

I kinda bought it as a gift for my friend at work.  She is going to knit a "trial" for herself.  And then she is going to try to make one for me.  If she has time.  She's a big time knitter with all these crazy projects going on.

And once I learn how to knit...I will have oodles of yarn spooles (?)...

and I will have to figure out a way to store it all...

Isn't this BEAUTIFUL??
