i just wanted to say hi. i just ordered Knitting New Scarves, and i can't wait to get started.
one thing i'd love to hear opinions on: i can't wear wool, so any suggestions and advice about non-wool yarns to use for these patterns would be great.
i hope i'll have something to show you soon - just be gentle, i'm not a great knitter - yet!

Welcome Sarah.
Shawl Collar is knit with Blue Sky Cotton. LittleRedHen posted below about knitting it.
I'll take a look at some non-wool yarns and let you know what I find that might be good substitutes. Hopefully, knitters who read your post will share some recommendations.
I knitted Aria with Rowan's Natural Silk Aran and Steffi used Salima, a cotton blend, for Stacked Wedges. There are links to these in the Labels section of the side bar.
Hi Sarah – It may be a while before I get to a yarn shop to look at non-wool yarns, so I wonder whether the following two books may be helpful to you. ‘No Sheep for You’, by Amy Singer, and ’The Knitter’s Book of Yarn’, by Clara Parkes.
thank you all! i can't wait to get started! i just wish the book would arrive.
i'm pretty confident i'll be able to substitute non-wool, and luckily i have some wool-friendly friends, so there will be lots of knitting!
