I have published my first pattern - a freebie!  It's a basic, plain ribbed scarf - ideal for a beginner.  Seeing as it's Autumn now, I'm loving seeing all the soft, chunky knitwear in the shops.  This is the first pattern I have ever published so would appreciate any feedback (good or bad!).  I know the photograph on the front isn't the best but practice makes perfect so the saying goes.  I originally knitted the scarf for my sister but decided to publish it just to see how long the whole thing took from start to finish - it was more a learning curve for me than anything.  It can be downloaded from www.ravelry.com.
