Very first project -- a scarf, of course!
 

After my roommate gave me a crash course in knitting and I learned a few techniques at KnittingHelp.com, I made this rendition of Lion Brand's BasketWeave Scarf (found HERE).

I used a size 8 needle and just Caron Simply Soft in Grey Heather (wasn't going to spend a fortune in case I totally screwed it up!) Not too shabby for a first project!

I can't wait to show you guys what else I've been working on! I've never been so excited about my new hobby. :yay:

What a lovely scarf! Basketweave isn't that easy. I tend to get holes between the squares. I think yours looks more even and cozier than the one on the pattern. Good job. Can't wait to see what you make next.

Wow, that's a great first project! My first project was a dishcloth- yours is MUCH more impressive. Good job!

Pam, the holes happened a few times for me. I found myself unraveling plenty of times to redo it. I'm an insane perfectionist! I'm afraid that's going to drive me crazy eventually as I knit more. :)

Well I have to tell you that your first FO looks WAY BETTER than MY first FO!!! LOL GREAT job! Can't wait to see what you're working on now!

Great job!!

You did a wonderful job! :thumbsup:

What a great first project :)

You did a great job! I found, when trying a basket weave stitch out, that if you twist that first stitch that trys to leave a hole, it won't be able to.

You did a GREAT job!!!!!!!!!!
