I'm such a wimp

[redhedlvr2]

I really want to get the Falling Stars Kit from Knitpicks.  I'm also terrified of doing steeks but feel compelled to buy the kit NOW because they might sell out.  Talk about pressure.   I know me, though.  Taking on new projects that are over my head is a bad habit  This sweater is just too pretty to have sit unfinished and collect dust.  So I need to get over my steek fear.  Has anyone on my flist made things with steeks?  I saw this technique, which is very pretty, but I have flashbacks to putting that zipper in my grandson's sweater a few years ago which are rather alarming.
