[Nfb-krafters-korner] Dropped Stitches

[River Woman]

Hi Mary,
Welcome to the world of knitting.
Prayer shawls come in all sizes and patterns. There are books available that 
feature only prayer shawls. You can choose one that you like to knit - begin 
with one that is basic...such as one that is all knitted rows. You can even 
find a very basic prayer shawl pattern on the label of the Homespun yarn by 
Lion Brand.

Stitch Markers - something you need to use for marking your "place" in a 
pattern. You can find them on the knitting sites and they come in all 
different sizes, colors, and styles.  They are markers to help you know 
where to make changes in your pattern, or to mark the beginning and end of a 
particular pattern within your rows.
