I'm officially a designer!!

If you look under the "Designs" tab you will see a special section to help you search for things created just by yours truly! I have put up my very first pattern, the Hello Kitty leg warmers my sister requested for her birthday. I searched for hours on the web trying to find something remotely close to what my sister wanted, but found nothing. So I decided to just try to make some on my own. While I loved the challenge of creating my own pattern, I think I need to work on my knitting skills just a bit more before tackling any more . Feed back is very welcome, please feel free to share any changes you may have made when making this for yourself!
