Knitting, eh?

I started teaching myself to knit about a month ago. I learned by watching some great YouTube videos and just getting some basic tools of the trade. I also got several books. My favorite is Stitch ‘n Bitch by Debbie Stoller. Not only does she have a fun, lively tone to her writing, she can also really teach knitting techniques! Huzzah!
After tackling knitting basics with my buddy Dawna, I went to a Knitting 101 class. The teacher, Becky Joiner, was awesome. She works great with all personality types and has a true love of knitting. I went full speed ahead after class and even signed up for circular knitting, which I took just this past weekend.
Here is a picture of my completed scarf. It’s called the Go-Go Garter Stitch Scarf and the pattern is from Stitch ‘n Bitch.
