And we're off

I just cast on the first of the two Harry Potter scarves. I arrived home from uni at 1pm and ran straight to my room to open the package of yarn (think my dad would have preferred me to finish helping him to unload my car though). I would have sat down then and there and cast on, but having driven 120 miles with my exhaust hanging off I was forced to go and get my car fixed first!

So the car is fixed and now I've cast on. After a few practice cast ons with scrap yarn I decided that my preferred method of joining the cast on edge was to cast on an extra stitch and then pass that across and knit the two end stitches together. It makes a really snug join.

So that's one scarf cast on, more trapped bars than I care to think about right now to knit... and to start all over again!
