The very first project I undertook was a scarf, in a simple garter stitch:
I picked up the yarn at the Northampton LYS (Web's) and used size 10 needles, CO 40 stitches....and just knit until I ran out of yarn. It's a bit wider than I anticipated, but what can you hope for from your very first knit?
Then I learned to purl, and did a swatch out of SnB:
Then I found some cotton yarn and knit up a dish towel:
I used Sugar n Cream 100% cotton, worsted weight, one 2.5oz skein. I no longer have the link to the pattern, but if you were really that interested I am sure I could dig it up.
Welcome to Knits by Kyahbean...thanks for reading!

Oooh, I like your scarf! Purdy colors . . . and I typically stay away from bright icky things like color. ;)
Yay for knitting! :) Nice work.
Love,
Anna
Sorry to do this to you, but I am really interested in knowing the pattern of the cotton dish towel. I could do a Ravelry search but thought perhaps you could find it more easily. Let me know if it's a pain, I don't want to put you out. THANKS.
Hmmmm...I'll have to dig through my yarn box. When I get home, I will try to remember to do that. It's not a pain at all, it's just a matter of if I still have it. I'll post here within the next day or two and definitely let you know!
haha! I love it!
I've taught so many people to knit (some of them many times) that I don't even remember who I've taught!
I love you! Glad you found out about knitting. Now I can totally be jealous of all the wonderful things you make and all the things you can do. :) :hug:
