Or maybe I should say needled? I guess the hooked title might be more appropriate if I'd just learned to crochet, which I would love to know how to do. As it is I invited some friends over for beer, cheese and knitting on Sunday and learned the basics of how to knit. Monday I went online and found a youtube video to figure out how to cast on and this is what I've managed to do since Monday. I have had this yarn lying around forever, seriously it has a price tag with a date stamp that says 05/97. It wouldn't be my first choice in colors for a scarf but I figured this is my scarf protoype and once I feel good with my newbie knitting skills I can graduate to the prettier yarn that I just purchased. I should not have started knitting when there's so many half finished projects in my house but, oh well, it's too late now, I've succumbed to the addiction that is knitting.

awesome! i learned to knit over wine (much wine...) and we called it "drunk knitting night." ;)
i love knitting because as long as i stick to the basic stitch i can do it while watching tv or talking/listening and at the end i have something i can wear!
Beautiful! You must have a truly marvellous teacher.
Yeah.
Looks like you are on your way to a healthy new addiction.
Have a great weekend
suse is a ringer, pay her no mind : )
Val, you have to get credit where credit is due. You started me on my new obsession. Now if I can just learn how to crochet as well...
