I didn't have a clue what I was doing, but I took myself off to Hobbycraft, bought myself a pair of knitting needles and some wool. When I got home, I looked on You Tube and to my delight found lots of videos teaching the basics. Soon I found myself knitting a plain black scarf. I found that it was quite thereputic, and although I slipped stitches and the whole scarf was a bit wonkey, I was quite pleased with myself.
Then I got some red, green, purple and pink coloured fluffy wool and knitted 4 plain scarfs for my friends (one of which had an allergic reaction to hers!! Oops!) I also knitted a loooooong purple, grey and white scarf in one night with chunky wool and size 12 needles. I felt smug having made such a long scarf in such a short space of time!
After knitting 6 plain garter stitch scarfs, I was ready for my next challenge.....
