Trouble With Short Rows

WOW! A post about knitting!
So i'm trying to make something for my niece, Sadie.

This project involves short rows, and i've been having a hard time with them. I went to a little gathering of knitters last week, swallowed my self taught pride and asked for some help. I thought i had it. Nope!

Short Row Success!
