I haven't got much knitting done recently (I'll elaborate further in a following post) but just thought I'd record where I'm up to at the moment. I ran out of yarn for my first knitting stitch project, and then I found the lovely Manos yarn and have started a scarf with that I will now finish first. I've also got to the tricky bit with my first project, figuring out the neck and sleeves. I think I've decided I want to make a round necked longsleeved jumper, and I got a crochet hook to finish the edges. Once I remember how to crochet. So now actually need to figure that one out :)
So, here's the progress!

That stitch is so cute with that wool! We can be scarf twins! Hey, did I mention that it's a good idea to alternate the skeins (if you can be bothered)? I didn't with mine and there's a noticable difference between each end (if you look that is...).
Yes, you did mention about alternating skeins and I didn't bother following your advice and now I can see why it was good! But I don't think the variation is too bad, the main irritating thing is that in the middle skein the yarn has suddenly got quite a bit more compact (rolled more tightly) so the scarf's got a bit skinner in the middle section! Anyway, I'm now 2/3 of the way there, I'm pretty impressed! Looking forward to its first outing :)
