Knitting Help
I know that a few of you on my friends list knit, so I thought I'd toss this question out there.
I am finally nearing the end of the Slytherin House scarf I started a year ago, and I'm thinking about what project to pick up next. I'd like to do a sweater, but is it worth it? My abilities are confined to knit and purl pretty much, and I have a hard time reading patterns. Can anyone recommend an easy pattern? I'd ideally like a simple pullover. I've tried looking on Ravelry, but I'm just not sure. A sweater seems like such an overwhelming project. But then, I can't think of something else I would actually use....
Also, could I use a yarn like Caron Simply Soft? Or another acrylic? I don't want to spend a ton of money on yarn for a project that might turn out horribly.
