[Nfb-krafters-korner] Dropped Stitches

Mon Dec 27 19:19:44 UTC 2010

You can find stitch markers in almost any craft store, Michaels, Joannes, A C More...
I did.
I am making a scarf for my church that is just knit.  I am using home spun yarn.  If you are a beginner, I would not start with this yarn.  This has been a chalange for me.  I hope to make a matching hat, too.

Oh boy, Lynda, this may be too complicated for me!!! I need, for now, just a knitted something.  I need to know just how many stitches to cast on,  what is a good size needle for me, a sort of beginner, and can I get these stitch markers at a real store?  
Thus far, I haven't shopped online, although, Fred  could do it for me.
Thanks.
Mary
