To knit or not to knit

Ok so here I go I finally decide to put my mind to it and learn to knit, after several (at least 3) failed attempts. I have now completed several (at least four) squares with out producing anything. My knit stitch ain't bad, my pearl stitch ain't bad but I seem to have a hard time putting them together into one square... transitioning is not quite so smooth for me. Is it so wrong to love yarn, love color, love huge needles and fat yarn and knit nothing of any consequence.

I am really not sure what to do next, how do I overcome this need to knit yet I am not making anything?

Really any suggestions from anyone out there are welcome!
