Don't ask me how I came across the video, as I don't remember. I watched a video on how to finger knit a cowl. I thought that looks pretty neat and very simple so I bought some yarn and went about the task of it.
Now I used a different weighted yarn than the lady did, but it's still a super chunky yarn. I also didn't use the whole skein like she had, and I didn't "tie" the project off like I should have because I didn't leave myself enough tail.
Still, I am pretty proud of my first mock up. I've got to either weave in the ends or tie off and cut one tail. I'll be wearing this to work as it's turned cold.
What do you think? Not bad?

That's actually what this is. I guess I should have been more specific. I looked at the pattern for a cowl, but since I was working with a different type of yarn, it ended up being thinner and thus a scarf.

@trivia79 I was also using my fingers, and so was only working with the width I could afford. 
I don't know how to stich so that I am going back the other way thus making it thicker, not yet.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Ow! That's why! I'm most familiar with a scarf which is broader.

Top left. My trash can is a small basket that had a gift set in it a few years ago. I hadn't emptied it at the time.
Oh and thank you. I"m going to make another one soon and use up the rest of the skein.

It looks very nice you should be proud it's not easy to knit.

I have not picked up knitting needles yet. Just my fingers. I don't know that I'll ever pick up the knitting needles. I think I might try arm knitting later (much) though.

I'd say it came out pretty good.

There were a few places where I messed up and didn't fix it properly. Otherwise, Yeah I think I could've done much worse.
