It's about experimentation, trial and error and stick-to-it-ivness. But so is all building craft. You did make chairs after all. Size is irrelevant. You did a great job. They are adorable.

Nice place to keep track and post without too much writing. A group of us readers/knitters formed a book club last summer--CanLitKnit. We meet in a pub, drink beer, discuss canlit and knit! Great fun. If you're interested we're meeting this Sunday (always in Toronto and easy to get to by public transit). Let me know by twitter or dm and I'll give you details. BTW, what is this pattern?
