Hey guys! So I've been mostly done with my scarf for awhile now. I'm just waiting on my aunt to help me out with the fringe at the end. But she appears to have taken a mini vacation lol so I'll just show you what I have done. (:

The beginning.
Almost there..
All done.
Again, it's not completely done 'cause i still need to close it & I need the fringe at the end. But as far as actual knitting goes, I'm done. (: It actually took me longer than I thought it would because the holidays kind of got in the way & like I said before, it looks a little rough but it's my first one so I'm alright with it. I must say though, it's a hell of a lot easier than I thought it would be. The problems I had with it are minor & according to my aunt, will get even easier with practice. I have trouble keeping the stitches the same size & I've noticed that I grip the hook too much which makes my hand cramp up faster & more often. On the plus side, I'm a lot better than that first day. Haa.
Finished Scarf: My aunt made me this black one. It's adorable & I added a cute silver pin to it. She said once we finish mine off, we can start going into different stitches. This stitch is called the single stitch & the crochet hook I used is a 1/9-5.50mm, which I got at WalMart along with the Red Heart Super Saver yarn
$8.49 (364yds) in the color Real Teal. Overall, I've had an awesome experience with this. I really recommend giving it a try if you're really into crafts & making things yourself. Also, you need a lottt of patience 'cause I swear, that first day I was getting frustrated & wanted to quit right away. I'm glad I stuck with it though! <3
