Very pretty scarf! You are doing great!! I'd probably knit again with all the new yarns out if I could remember from project to project how to cast on! LOL

Well done Jen, once you have mastered purl a HUGE amount of patterns open up to you. What were the bamboo needles like to knit on - I have heard they are the best but my needle supply is so old they weren't available when I was stocking up.
love and kisses, Jan

I love knitting with the bamboo needles. They feel so nice in your hands and make a lovely musical clicking noise when you knit. It makes knitting wonderful to the senses. Jen |

The noise I make when knitting is what drives my husband barmy. He likes to watch TV or a DVD and enjoy the full sound experience, I like to knit at the same time - I am sure you cannot hear the sound of my needles over the explosions but he thinks you can. 
love and kisses, Jan

ROFL!!! You crack me up!!!! Jen PS: Thanks again, for the sweet compliments. Today I begin the final scarf, and it is for my daughter, Sunny. Hers will be extra special, because she picked 2 colors, and if all goes well today, it will have pearling as well as knitting. Jen |

No, Dorothy-- that would be: gnilrup!!! LOL!  Knitting backwards is: gnittinkI think so, but since instruction is free at open knit, and I am an extremely visual learner, (ie: a little slow on the uptake); I figure I will leave it to the professional to teach me. Jen |
