I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U.
When you complete a lovely, warm sweater made with your own hands, you can proudly wear it and explain that you knitted it yourself. There is a large variety of yarn to choose from to make your knit baby blanket. More resilient yarns are more forgiving of irregularities in tension; highly twisted yarns are sometimes difficult to knit, whereas untwisting yarns can lead to split stitches, in which not all of the yarn is knitted into a stitch.
The knitting yarn will look like it is at the front and you will now take it to the back and start the second row of transferring stitches to the empty right needle. It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist. So, why learn how to knit when you can easily buy finished fabrics in the marketplace?
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. Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas.
