Begginer Question????

Hi all,

Last winter a friend was taking a begginers knitting class & she showed me a
how to cast on/off & knit stich, I don't know how to do pearl stitch yet.
But I'm thinking of taking a begginers knitting class and I was wondering if
someone can help me out. I could use some advice as to what I should make
for my first knitting project? The class begins in September so I'd like to
get my supplies now & really plan out what I'll be making so I'll have
something to keep me busy during the winter months.

Thanks & Take care,
