I decided to use a 1k ohm resistor in addition to the potentiometer to prevent burning out the LED when turned all the way up.

I switched to using pins 2 and 3 instead of pins 1 and 2. Doing so meant that turning the knob on the potentiometer clockwise made the LED brighter, instead of dimmer. This felt more natural.
