Drum roll please

yippy yippy YIPPY. I have finished the scarf. It is pretty simple, just a box pattern with seed stitch at the beginning/end. Looking at the pattern picture I now realize there is a seed stitch around the entire thing but mine didn't turn out that way. Once I figured out how to tell a knit from a purl I stopped looking at the pattern and just alternated, therefore no seed on the sides. I will also use advice I had seen previously seen and switch to a larger size needle for bind off. It isn't perfect (you can even see a little hole in the picture) but I think it is pretty good for my very first knitting project. It took forever but I think more knitted scarves/projects are to come. I figure if I start now I might have something done in time to give as a Christmas gift.
