Okay, so what project would you recommend...

...for someone who has knit scarves & dishcloths? I can knit & purl, and that's about it. I've never tried circular needles or DPN's.

I need something new to try.

Recommendations?

TIA

Goggle dishcloth shawl. It's easy and works up fast with large needles and textured yarn

That's funny--it's the same pattern as the very first dishcloth I ever finished, on a much larger scale of course. I think I even posted a pic of it in my gallery here.

Thanks

Shawls might be a good one. Socks or mittens are good too.
there are some mittens that can be knitted flat than sewn together

You could try your hand at cables. They aren't as scary as they look

How about a hat? That'll give you a grip on circular needles or double-points.

Here's the one I started with:

Today I've been repairing a very loved 14 yr old baby blanket. I hope to finish tonight and get back to knitting on my socks.

Michelle - what project did you decide to do

Just seeing this now...I haven't picked out a project yet because things have been a bit

lately. I'll need to buy supplies for whatever I make, so that's also holding me up.
