So last winter, while I was pregnant, I decided to learn to knit. I started simply, with a few scarves. I think I started with a blue one with different colored flecks, all done in Garter stitch. Very easy, and fast as it was kiddo sized. Then I did the orange scarf you see here. Same basic pattern idea, done on maybe a size US 8 needle. I used Bernat Mills Boa yarn in "Tweety Bird" or something. Very shiny and cute, but I wasn't sure quite how warm it would be. Next I moved on to one for myself, in black to match my winter parka and my black dress coat. I teamed up a chenille with what I think was a black Boa yarn as well. I went narrower, for my personal comfort. It's very warm, with both yarns worked together. I love them, and was very pleased with my first attempts. :)
