My first scarf!!

I gotta say, I'm pretty proud of myself!  I finished a scarf.  It's for my friend Emily.  I figured a scarf would be a nice and personal Christmas present, even if it came a few weeks late.  I mean, I only started to learn how to knit a few weeks before, so it would have been amazing to have finished on time.  Still, I'm excited and she loved it, so SUCCESS!!

I used this yarn I found at Wal-Mart.  I figured for my first few projects I should stick with inexpensive yarn.  I used two skeins and size 8 needles.

I used a pattern I found in a pattern book from Michael's.  Nothing fancy, just a 4 row pattern.  It used knit, purl, knit 2 together and knit front & back.  For copyright reasons, I won't list the actual pattern.

Now, for picture-palooza.
