Hey, I used to do that. A church women's group in Ohio used to knit
bandages for a leper hospital in either India or Africa, I'm not sure
which. Anyhow, it was dead easy, "idiot knitting" some of us called it.
Takre a ball of bedspread cotton and size #1 needles. Cast on 30
stitches. Knit every row until either halfway through the ball or to
the end. Cast off.
Apparently they liked the hand knit ones because they were more
flexible, and being made of bedspread cotton they could be boiled to
sterilise them, and re-used until they literally fell apart.
Some of our older women made themselves do fifteen minutes every morning
on their bandages to keep (or get!) their fingers moving.

Thanks! This is a very different shawl in that the designer has one design
on
one end and it transitions through to a completely different design on the
other.

Hi, I'm new here and just love this shawl! It looks a bit tough for me,
but I can dream and drool :). Where did you get your stitch markers -
they're lovely!

Hi Ande, and welcome! Thanks for your nice comments. A friend
from Australia sent the stitch markers to me in a knitting buddy
exchange. I agree with you, they are beautiful.
