"well darn, pattern is gone into the 404 error again."

"5 lbs. of chunky yarn to make a short sleeve sweater? something doesn't seem right with that, reading the pattern doe snot make it any clearer either."
Lisa
"That couldn't possibly work with the design of this shawl, this pattern only works because you are making the band first, there is no way with a cast on of 5 stitches you could do it the way you are thinking. the pattern working out is dependent on the band being done first."
Lisa
"You must start with the band, you cannot proceed in the pattern without the band, because that is where you are picking up the stitches from."

"Sorry, newbie here. Love watching this. My question is, do you have to keep doing right side, wrong side? That confuses me and I am not sure how to do it correctly."

"The older one gets, the easier one feels chilly - not only at the feet, but also around the "middle section“. The solution to this is a garment that is called Haramaki (腹巻, literally "belly wrap" or "bellyband") in Japanese. This one is not only a tube, but a piece of clothing that can be wrapped and adjusted around belly and hips with a strap on either side. The piece is knitted all in garter stitch and therefore quite easy to knit. It is suitable for beginners as well."

What an unusual garment. It's always interesting to see what people knit in other cultures and what they use it for. I never get cold around my middle but if I did I'd definitely give this a try.
