My first Knitting projects

My first project, naturally, was a scarf. But since I am not a boring person (if I say so myself), I couldn't allow myself to make a plain ole garter knit scarf. So, I chose a pattern that would serve the purpose of forcing me to learn both knit and purl right away. I made a basketweave pattern out of Wool-ease thick and quick with a garter stitch border. It's nice and soft! This was knit in Fall 2006. You might not be able to see the stitches clearly in the picture.
