so i have a close friend, a, who loves to knit, and she has a blog where she posts almost every day about things she's knitting. her huge stash of yarn rivals my husband's "stash" of rock climbing equipment. a, this post is for you!!! :) i purchased these needles and yarn from knit purl, a knitting store in downtown portland. i have no idea who made the yarn or what it's called; i just asked for something with orange in it which would be good for making a scarf, which i assume is what one should start with as a beginning "first" project. they sold me the needles, saying if i started with circular needles (whatever that is) i wouldn't be afraid of them. i guess circular needles are scary, but they don't look that scary to me. whatever. i suppose i'll find out. for now, i need to rope someone into teaching me some knitting secrets...

YAY!!!!! i am so proud of you! From now on, keep the yarn ballband, so that you know what it is, especially if you were to need to get more of the same. Circulars aren't scary, until you start knitting in the round, so you will be fine with a scarf! You should get a Stitch n Bitch book by Debbie Stoller to help you get started. Have fun!
