I think I'm gonna knit away the wait till sales (Jan 15th, tic...toc...)
Have been watching this video on youtube and remembered how much I used to love it. It's wonderfully stress-controlling and one of the most rewarding diy activities. (if you are going to watch it, be warned, after minute 6 the content is kinda irrelevant)

So here's what you'll need:
-Knitting needles (mine are 5mm) (chopsticks do the job aswell but you'll end up with a micro-scarf)
-Yarn (you could be using other stuff too, but start with yarn!)
-Scissors (well not necessarily, but if you manage any knots that shouldn't be there they help)
I am using the blue...
I want to make a scarf just like this one (minus the stripes) (em..it's Accessorize and machine-made, but i'll try)
So I am sizing it using this simple technique and off I knit!
Knittaplease.com is such a mad website! For now I am knitting a scarf for myself (selfish?) but if I'm still good at it I may knit one for... Acropolis and send them a picture:)
Let me know if any of you guys knit!

I used to knit but I haven't done it for ages in fact. My mother does it so much better than me, so when I want something I ask her for it haha
