Knitting

As I mentioned yesterday, the last few days have been cold and windy, so what better weather than to do some knitting.
My daughter wanted a hooded scarf done a while ago and I did start it, but as life got a bit busy I didn't have time to sit and complete it.
The last few days though have reminded me that I haven't been doing it and winter will be over in another week so I had better get cracking.
Over yesterday and today I have managed to complete just over half, so I am hopeful that by Monday or Tuesday it will be finished.
This is my progress so far:

The wool is black and has some gold string in it.
Once it is complete I will take another photo.
This scarf is so easy to do and to finish it off and to make the hood. Just fold the finished scarf in half and sew down one size, until it is big enough to fit on her head.
Now I have been knitting again, I am surprised how much I enjoy it, which brings me to the next problem.
What to make next, I am only a beginner knitter, so I want to make something more challenging than a scarf but I only know how to knit and purl.
One day I would love to be able to make a jumper or a cardigan, something I could wear.
So if anyone has any patterns or simple ideas, let me know in the comments below.
Thank-you in advance.
