Will knitting be a new hobby?

Today I found myself thinking of my friend Cia a lot. So much so that I, rather unconciously, entered into a fabric and yarn store (Fröken Garn on Kungsgatan in Malmö) on my way to yoga class this afternoon. I have not knitted since highschool but somehow today I found a desire to get back into it. I think it was thanks to my thinking of Cia. She has inspired me to several good things before; like lending money via Kiva.org.

Today she is my inspiration for starting to knit. The yarn is German, Schoppel Wolle brand, called IN Silk and colour burgundy (weinrot). 75% virgin merino wool, 25% silk. 7 mm needles and I am planning to make a scarf. The photo is proof that I have started!
