It looks great!<br /><br />Yeah, the knots do happen. It's annoying... especially in the more expensive yarns! As you get more experienced you'll find better ways to hide the joins in the yarn. Congrats! It looks great!

The knots are less common if you're willing to buy more expensive yarn. When I find the knots I back up a few stitches, cut off the knot and knit it in like I would start a new skein. THen you don't have the knots in your knitting. Happy knitting! I love the colors. The knots are less common if you’re willing to buy more expensive yarn.

And don't feel bad about the sizing problems. I went from making my test knit to a dish cloth (that I still use, but it's not too tightly woven so sometimes it it hard to scrub stuff with, but it does at least clean counters) to a pair of socks. The first sock looked great. I got so much more comfortable with knitting using the double point needles on the second one that the second sock was double the size of the first one because my gauge changed! Luckily it was wool so I just shrunk it in the dryer and used them as house socks. :) Those knots can be common, yes. – irritating, but common.
