I just thought of taking up knitting a few days ago… I go to the local grocery store and i see a whole bunch of different sized needles (0.7 mm or something?) and i really didn’t know what to choose, so i didn’t buy anything. i want to knit a scarf for my baby cousin’s birthday in three weeks, and i don’t know what size i should use. suggestions/tips, anyone?

What weight of yarn are you using? If it’s worsted I’d say around a size (US) 7 or 8. Guage doesn’t matter much with scarves.
It depends entirely on the weight of the yarn you’re using. If you check the ball band, it should tell you a range of sizes the manufacturer suggests for that yarn (look for a square with numbers on the sides, top, and bottom — this will tell you how many stitches and rows you should have over a given measurement).
If you go here: http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/label.html it will tell you more and show you some examples.
the bigger the better
