Knitting 102 - Advanced Beginner

So you've learned the basics - how to knit the garter stitch, how to purl, how to cast on, how to case off.  You can even read a pattern, sort of.  Now what?  

How about knitting a shawl that you can use this summer to throw on when you're out at over air-conditioned restaurants, wearing that cute summer dress?  Why not expand your skill repertoire with some new stitches!  It' time to knit a gorgeous accessory that you can wear and say, "Yup, I made this!"
