kntting project

Since I've been buying yarn lately I thought I should show evidence that I actually know how to knit. I always like having an easy project I can pick up now & then; a scarf is the perfect project for me. I am knitting this scarf on size 3 needles with sock yarn. I tried a pattern that was quite lacy but if I made a mistake (and I kept making them) I couldn't figure out how to rip back & keep the right number of stitches on my needle. So Salli at my LYS gave me this easy pattern: knit 3 rows then purl one row; repeat. I cast on 30 stitches; I want a long,skinny scarf. It creates a nice pattern that I think also complements the yarn. I've only got about a foot knitted so far so I have a lot of knitting to do.
