Instant Gratification Scarf

A few months ago, I decided I needed a hobby. I don't have a lot of free time and I've always liked making stuff. So I settled on knitting. It's been fun learning. I even joined a knitting group. Been meaning to bring a camera to take a picture of all the ladies who knit. Hadn't gotten that far yet.

I've finished a couple of projects so far. This is my favorite one yet...

Li wanted me to make her a scarf. During my trip to the Vermilion Bay Yarn Company, I bought some yarn I really liked but each skein didn't have much yardage. I found a pattern on Ravelry.com that would work. It makes the most of a small amount of yarn. They call it the instant gratification scarf. Li's scarf is decent for my first attempt at that stitch.
