When my sister and cousin and I wanted to learn to knit, we didn't take classes or anything just watched video from that site. It is awesome. And you can play them over and over and no one gets irritated that they have to show you again and again.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882235346307802213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15555813.post-9413291275618370732009-01-18T18:27:00.000-06:002009-01-18T18:27:00.000-06:00I was knitting for 23 years before someone taught ...I was knitting for 23 years before someone taught me how to purl and boy, after I learned how to purl, there was no stopping me there.

Alternate knit and purl then the magic happens, but it makes for a crap scarf. The holes add loft - all that insulating air, right?

Either way, I'm sure the homeless people won't mind a few holes. From what I see on that picture, it's looking pretty good to me. Not that I'm Mrs. Experienced Knitter or anything. But, it definitely looks better than my first time.
