Forgive me if this is a ridiculously obvious set of instructions that I am not getting; I am a novice knitter and have only completed a scarf so far  . |
You're very welcome! I think lot's of PSK use Homespun because of all the variety, it's weight knits up fast, it's machne washable so the receiver doesn't need to work about caring for a speciality fabric and it's relatively inexpensive. However you could use any bulky weight or even worsted. I think WW knitted on bigger needles would give you a lace like look and that could be very pretty.
Perhaps someone that's better than me at explaining patterns will chime in, but what I gathered is since the pattern is K3P3 it's multiples of 3. I decided to cast on 58 and slip the first stitch to give me a firm neat edge and didn't count that stitch in my pattern.
