I'd like to get an idea of the cost because, even if I learn to knit, it will be a while before I am sufficient enough to make an article of clothing (that isn't a sock or scarf).

They wear taken from a 1940s pattern which i do have floating around somewhere!
Excuse the hair/face...bad head day!!!

C-dot said:I just selected a beautiful seaweed green yarn for my next sweater. It's not my favourite colour at all, but it sets off my hair, skin, and eyes.
That's normally how I choose - the same as I would for a storebought sweater. If I'm looking for multiple colours (like a scarf I just did in white, hot pink, and black), I usually look for something really striking, which is what appeals to me.
I suggest selecting a colour that makes your eyes pop!
