I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.
Take it from me, when you knit-it-yourself, it feels good! Cable needles are a special case of dpns, although they usually are not straight, but dimpled in the middle. Depending on how the increase is done, there is often a hole in the fabric at the point of the increase.
It is very easy to learn the process of making sock using the sock-knitting machine. The double moss stitch pattern creates a more textured raised effect on the material which looks great for any number of projects. However, such circular wales are possible using Swiss darning, a form of embroidery, or by knitting a tube separately and attaching it to the knitted fabric.
Not only will this provide a nice social outlet, but your new knitting friends may also be able to help you locate and use new knitting patterns and new ideas for knitting projects. Get knitting!
