I started to knit this cherry red snood in february(!!!!), did it for a month or two, then stopped, until a week ago. It's the first thing I knit. I'm learning with it and it takes me so much time. I don't think I'm particularly slow (though sometimes I think I'm a "movement dyslexic"- lack of synchro:)). Actually, because I didn't know how many loops you do to start, I did a lot- a lot-(alot:http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html). Now, this snood/hood is still wider than long, no, seriously, it's about 70cms wide. I really hope to finish it before proper winter comes and be able to enjoy its warmth soon!
