Sock-knitting machines are used to make socks. I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is.
It does not require any special or inborn talent to start knitting. So, why learn how to knit when you can easily buy finished fabrics in the marketplace? It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist.
The upper red course is purled into the row below and then is knit, consistent with garter stitch. Sport weight yarns are also used in the machine. The most important property of needles is their diameter, which ranges from below 2 mm to 25 mm (roughly 1 inch).
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents.
