this is such a simple project and the 'lace' is so basic that you can pick it up and put it down again whenever you want without fearing you'll lose track of where you are. i've even included some additional help with working out where you're up to and directions on how to graft garter stitch, just check out the bottom of the post.
it's also easily adjustable... make it longer or wider or knit it as a scarf instead of a cowl. you could also change the look by increasing or decreasing the garter stitch sections between the lace or even inserting the lace at random intervals.
