I decided to teach myself how to knit - relying heavily on the people at Knitting Help to find out how to cast on nicely. The reason? Innocent's Big Knit in aid of Age Concern. It's amazing - I've gone from never having touched a pair of knitting needles (or at least not since the jumbo sized ones you're made to play with in infant school "craft" lessons) to knocking up 2 small hats per evening.
Here are a few of my creations so far (now in blurryvision!):
But it's time to move on to bigger projects. I've already knitted myself an i-Pod Nano case in fetching lilac and purple. But David is now asking for something he saw over at Aphra Benn's place:
How to knit a Moebius scarf from the middle to the edge.
I'll start that when I've decided I've done enough hats.
And after that, brains..?

Did you try the scarf? How did you get on with it? I find my results vary tremendously depending on the yarn I use.
All the best
