WTH is a YO?

-
Okay...I just learned to knit over the Christmas break....and by knit I mean casting on, the knit stitch and the pearl stitch.....I practiced that for a while...then I really ventured out on a limb......stockinette stitch :D

After making several practice swatches I got bored and decided I needed to do a project....Enter the YO (Yarn Over).....

I really wanted to do a drop stitch scarf to wrap around a scarf purse....After several embarrassing and clueless posts to various knitting message boards I still didn't get it...SOooooo...I just did it...and it was EASY!...Of course, being the over achiever that I am...hehehe...I did 3 YO.


Here it is!
