Yea i wanna knit

i want my first project to be a headband or like something cool

I have a iPod owning, digital camera wielding, slightly obsessed, wool loving 21 year old friend that is the reason im going to start to learn how to knit. She gets so excited and jolly whenever she knits and i want to learn so i can make cool stuff to to show her and maybe make her something... since shes making the most awsome beer cozy everrrrr
