This excites me rather a lot, because I've never been able to do anything like this in my life! I decided it would be nice to have something to do when I'm bored that doesn't involve TV or computer, and also because I take a couple of long-ish train journeys every month or so, it would be nice to have something to pass the time.
So, over the Christmas period I learnt to knit! Mostly I used tutorials online, and then my mum helped me out a bit. I'm not that good, I can only do basic stitches, but it's a start! I went to a department store and bought some wool, they had the most beautiful wools in the half price sale, so I bought 8 balls, haha. Then I made a scarf for my friend's birthday later this month!
I'm exceptionally proud of this scarf, because it is literally the first thing I have ever made all by myself. I took some pictures, take a look! (Sorry pics are so big, I totally couldn't be bothered to re-size).
