I dont want to deal with sleeves. I’ve been practicing stitches with hats and scarves. So now I want to practice shaping something my size. Next will be using fine yarn for socks. My friends say its tedious so I’m holding off but I do plan to tackle it. Thanks for the tips.

Now I’m of the mind to do something, that will work for me as well as other women who are of my same body and size-type. Thanks for the info.

Maybe that’s why I prefer ponchos, shawls and vests to full-sleeve sweaters!!
