Read these important knitting instructions before you begin:

• Wash your hands before you begin.  The lighter colors can become dirty and dingy looking if hands are not clean.
• Keep your work away from children and pets.  All your hard work could be destroyed very quickly.
• Protect your work in a plastic bag or in a knitting bag or basket.
• Make sure you read the instructions entirely before you begin to make sure you understand your project.
• Never stop working on your project and leave it for long periods of time when you are in the middle of a row.  This can cause the yarn to pucker.
• Never break the yarn with your hands.  This could stretch the yarn.
• Always keep and store the directions with your project to keep from misplacing them.
• When you are knitting, position yourself somewhere comfortable that has good lighting.  A table by you so you can place all your tools there.
