I will use 7s or 8s or 9s with those yarns you mentioned, depending on how tight I want the knitting to be.

Here's how I move from one row to the next. At the end of a row, you have a full needle on the right and an empty needle on the left, with the pointy ends toward the middle. Switch the needles so the empty needle is on the right and turn them so the pointy ends are toward the middle. Make sure your yarn is hanging from the left hand needle and isn't wrapped around anything (sometimes the yarn can get tangled up in your knitting or get an extra wrap around the needle). If your first stitch in the next row is a knit, move the yarn back a little bit so you can stick the empty needle in the first stitch with the yarn in the back of your work. You're ready to go!

Sometimes the first stitch in a row can be looser than you'd like it to be. Just give your 2nd stitch in the row a bit of an extra tug when you knit it, and your loose stitches will be taken care of.

For a first scarf, I recommend just straight garter stitch - just row after row of knitting. It's also a good way to get the rhythm of knitting down.

I hope this helps!

Thanks, but i went ahead and bought a scarf. It looks exactly like what I want, and it was 40% off. I'll try to knit later, but I always have so much work. I think I'll graduate before I really try to learn. And find someone local who can help me.
