I've learned the purl stitch!

And it wasn't nearly as hard as I thought it would be. ;-)

Now I just need to learn to properly increase and decrease,

and then...the project possibilities are endless! :-)

Adding the stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl one row)

will add texture and interest to this scarf.
