I (Marilyn) am not an accomplished knitter. It has to be simple or I will be ripping it out over and over, especially since I only knit when watching TV. I so admire beautiful lace and cables, but I stick to the basics. I managed to knit a new hat, three pairs of finger-less gloves, and a vest, all with hand-spun yarn. Knitting side-to-side goes quickly and produces vertical stripes, which are necessary for my shape!
