Not knowing where to start I asked my mom if she knew how to knit. It had been years since she knit, so instead of trying to teach me, she got me the "I taught myself knitting" book, which included two sizes of knitting needles, and some other accessories, and a skein of yarn. Within a week I was started on my first scarf. After getting a couple days into my scarf I realized I was unintentionally increasing my stitches, so I took the whole thing out and started over. After taking a couple months off I resumed my project and finished before the snow came. Since then I made another scarf just like it in black for my mom and am making a teal/brown one for my grandma.
I'm working on learning crochet so I can make amigurumi creatures. Still working up to that though...will probably have to crochet a scarf first to get the hang of it.
