So. I'm a beginner still working on her first dishcloth, but trying to decide on my next project. Which is a worse idea for a beginner: an Irish Hiking Scarf (problems: I haven't a clue how to cable things, and my purl stitch is still a bit questionable) or a stuffed TARDIS (problems: supposed to be knitted on size 3 needles; also, I don't know how to change colors of yarn)?

At this point, I am leaning towards knitting the TARDIS, as it looks smaller and faster to make, and also STUFFED TARDIS. I do already have the yarn for the Irish Hiking Scarf (this yarn, which is gorgeous and soft and I can't stop touching it). Opinions?

Stuffed TARDIS is neat (I'm still working on mine), but I'd vote for the scarf. You'll be more inclined to immediately wear the scarf (which I think is an important thing to do, especially if the yarn is soft), whereas a TARDIS, if it's a little lop-sided, may end up in the closet, which is no fun for anyone. Plus, size three needles are kind of a hard way to go for your second project. It can get frustrating working such thin needles until you've got a few projects under your belt.

I have a pattern to for a Clanger bookmarked on my desktop computer. If you'd like it, let me know and I'll send it along.
