I am a changed woman

Yesterday standing before you was a woman who did not know how to knit socks. She had tried many times, and failed as many. Today, I stand here and tell you: I know how to knit the toe of a sock (and have an eye to the future of being able to knit a whole sock). That is right. I made this.

Please, quieten your applause. I need to stay focused until it is over. Then we will party.
