Hi! So I want to give my mom and dad a present or two (Seperately). I'm planning to do DIY projects, but I can't seem to find any good ones. I'm not really looking for food ideas, but just making gifts. If you can give me links or tell me website names, that would be great!

You can get everything you need at Wal-Mart or a typical craft store. Get yourself a set of really big knitting needles, like a size 15-17. They should be over a centimeter around. Then grab a couple of balls of thick yarn, either bulky (size 5) or super-bulky (size 6). If all else fails, read the label. It'll tell you what size of needle to use with that particular gauge of yarn.
That's all you need! Hop on Youtube and look up instructions on how to cast on, knit and cast off. Cast on stitches until the scarf is about as wide as you'd like it, then knit each row. Cast off when it's as long as you want it and you're done! A scarf made like this usually takes me 6-8 hours, and you can do it in front of the TV.
