A long and tasseled scarf

This was one I knitted with the wool remaining after doing this scarf - you'll see it's a reversal of the colours. I started it at Christmas but it sat half done until this week when I had plenty of time in bed after a small operation. It doesn't have a home to go to at the moment but I'm sure I'll find it a chilly neck to warm soon.

Tassels

I've also finally decided that it's time to have a go doing some more adventurous knitting. I can't even purl at the moment. I'm having a go at sewing a skirt from a pattern first, and then I'm going to try socks - maybe with a class at Fabrications to get me going.

Knitting

I got a beautiful knitting needle case and some wool from Nat and Pete for my birthday and taught myself to knit basic stitch from good old YouTube.

My beautiful case from Nat, and my first rows of stitches.

Heidi, Alex's aunt and my mum patiently taught me and helped me with mistakes all Christmas.

The first scarf

We found a great shop on Globe Road in Bethnal Green called Prick Your Finger which sold handwoven wool - this one had plastic bits in too.

Finally, a scarf for Jess for her birthday, with wool from Fun 2 Do in Carlisle.
