Oh, thank you! Yeah, I’ve also figured out that if I count out the pattern as I do it(knit, knit…purl, purl) I don’t screw it up as much :). I’ll likely take a picture in the next day or two, just to show the colors. My brother said it looks like someone threw up a clown… But I will definitely post a picture of the finished product before giving it to my friend 
That’s how it is now.
