You don't really need a pattern for a scarf Tink... Just start knitting, get to the width you want and keep going x

[tinkerbell23]

Hahahah quassia has stumbled upon something hahaha!!! So a scarf it is...maby in time for this winter coming if its worse than the previous xx

[tinkerbell23]

Any ideas of needles/ wool? I do hate "itchy" wool xx

[Quassia]

Every new knitter knits a scarf tink ... just remember to eventually cast off or you'll trip on it!

I bought a cardigan in M&S the other day. It was £35 and made of merino wool (lovely and soft). I thought to myself 'I could knit this, why am I paying so much to buy it' so I found a pattern and then priced the wool. I would need 12 balls of wool each costing £2.99 (£35.88) and then there was the bother of knitting it. It just wasn't worth it. At the moment I am crocheting a cot blanket from scraps of wool left over from knitting baby cardigans, but it has to be a labour of love. I prefer crocheting to knitting - I consider it to be easier.
