 |  |  |  | Elliot, your mom shouldn't worry! My mom only made scarfs - up till now. She's almost finished the 'Turtleneck Dog Sweater,' a free pattern from www.lionbrand.com. It's rated "easy" and so far it has been - mostly.
Mom has the Stitch 'n Bitch book, and that's pretty much how she learned to knit. Even with the 'easy' pattern, there have been a few rough patches, but we were able to figure them out. We've got the body made and are thinking about the 'legs.' We can't decide if they should be made with straight needles or double pointed ones to eliminate having to sew up the sides... (If anyone has any advise, feel free!)
We don't have any DPNs, so that may be the deciding factor. We were making this as a test sweater for one to donate to an auction. This one has turned out so well, we may be able to donate two! |  |  |  |  |
