Thanks! I so happened to look outside when the sun was setting and thought, "Oooh! Pretty colors!" I figured that that was going to be my picture of the day so I grabbed my boots, coat, and camera and took some pictures.
That's so cool that you started a Doctor Who scarf. When I was learning how to knit, I discovered that the book, "Knitting for Dummies" and YouTube were good resources. I'd read about a stitch in the book and then look for a video on how it was done on YouTube. Also, for binding off at the end, I use a crochet hook. It makes it much easier.
Lastily, there's a great pattern for making a Doctor Who scarf here (http://www.doctorwhoscarf.com/). I believe the guy who authored the site visited the actual scarf and counted the number of rows in each color block. He also recommends yarn, which can get kind of pricey. There was a knit-along this fall on the community, who_knits, and some of them used Vanna's Choice (I think?) because it was cotton and was, therefore, much cheaper than the wool.
And if you're really interested into getting back into knitting again, I highly recommend that you join Ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/account/login). They have tons of patterns posted there...including Doctor Who scarves. You could probably get advice and yarn recommendations on their site.
