I'm posting pictures of this, my first ever project, for the sake of posterity. Using three balls of chunky yarn from the remnant bin in John Lewis (I can't remember what it was but it had cashmere in it and is lovely and soft) I knitted a scarf in single rib, with some random thick needles that I think might be 7.5mm.
Although the yarn is great, in single rib it was very dense. It also didn't go as long as I wanted because it was a rib, and shrunk up together. And finally, I made a few mistakes - adding and losing stitches so it got wider, as well as totally bodging up starting a new ball. Twice.Anyway, past tense because I've ripped it down and re-used the yarn for a new project. I decided the density of the single rib in this yarn was ideal protection for a laptop, so I've started a laptop cover.
Aufwiedersehn!
