I want to take up knitting. Anyone here knit? I learned to knit as a kid. I don't remember it all, but I think it will be like riding a bike. I want to get some needles and yarn. Really looking forward to it.
I'm going to start by making a scarf. Is this is okay for a beginner? This is the yarn I want (I think I need 5 hanks, is that right?) : http://www.yarn.com/webs-knitting-crochet-yarns-weight-worsted/webs-knitting-yarns-jil-eaton-minnow-merino/ And the needles I think I'm going to get: http://www.yarn.com/webs-knitters-pride-fixed-circular-knitting-needles/knitters-pride-knitters-pride-cubics-fixed-circular-needles/ size 8 are these a good match and a good quality/style for a beginner? Am I buying the right amount of yarn?
Any assistance appreciated. I'll probably stop by at a local store for a lesson and also use You Tube to help jog my memory.
