Yet Another Beginner Scarf

I've always been an English style knitter ever since I learned to knit. For me it was fun to learn and easy on my hands. As I have been knitting more, I wanted to learn the continental method.

I have a soft spot for stranded knitting and as such, knowing continental knitting would make my life easier. I could hold a strand of yarn in each hand instead of overloading my fingers.

There's a great tutorial for continental knitting here if you are interested. I think this is also the site that taught me to knit.

This scarf has no gauge. Any type of yarn and any type of needle will work. The basic garter stitch pattern is all you need to know; that's just knit every row.

I used one of those bumby types of yarn. It's got several thick threads of multiple colors with one thin white thread wrapped around it. I've always like these types of yarns; but, once I get it home I never know what to do with it.

Well, I think I got the hang of this new technique. I'll put it to the test when I make my new bag. More on that coming soon!
