Easy to knit, and easy to wear, and easy when you have as much yarn as I do, to knock up one of these in any mix of colours.

For novice knitters, this is probably the first kind of project you'd do, a scarf. but most new knitters would be looking to knit a near perfect scarf. after years of knitting, I've discovered it's all about design, and colour, whilst this scarf is simple in design, it really does work in adding that fun funky accessories to your winter wardrobe. The chunky knit, means it grows quickly, and the roughly tied strands mean it's not perfectly neat, but I'm not looking for 'neat' I'm looking for fun. So if you've ever fancied picking up the needles but thought you'd make a mess of it, Don't worry, just do it,
find yourself some size 10, 12 or 15 needles,
cast on at least 20st for size 10, 18 st for size 12 and 15st for size 15 choose your yarn (don't worry about the gauge instruction on the label- i don't) and then just knit, .
you'll be hooked in no time, and without doubt you'll find yourself back in that yarn shop, searching for more yarn, before you know what's happened.
