A couple of years ago I tried to knit socks. I was doing pretty well until I got to 'turning the heel'. Now I have a really nice tube!

DO IT!
What is nice about doing your own chosen scarf design is that you can keep it simple and even a beginner or someone who hasn't hooked or knit for years can still make a scarf. Your k1p2 will make beautiful ribbing and if you've never done color changing it won't be that difficult.
sigmadiva, socks can be really difficult and scary the first time. I've gotten a few different books and gone online to have different explanations and it helped the heel turning a lot. You should check your local public library and see what's there so you can finish your socks. I am a HUGE fan of the two at a time magic loop method and have a great book by Melissa Morgan Oakes called 2-at-a-Time Socks and you can get one on Amazon for under $10. Haven't used her similar book, Toe-Up 2-at-a-Time, but I had a pattern and used the magic loop and her book as guidance and the socks turned out beautifully.
