Knitting is the art of turning threads int The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.
If you pick a simple pattern, knitting is really easy! If you're an absolute beginner or just feeling a little lack of confidence, knit up some scarves in chunky, beautiful yarn. On the wrong side, the ends of the loops are visible, both the tops and bottoms, creating a much more bumpy texture sometimes called reverse stockinette. Once you know the essentials you will be able to follow most knitting instructions which are just combinations or variations of two stitches.
Push point of right knitting needle into the front of the first stitch from right to left. You can also choose between circular needles and straight needles. There are actually hundreds of combinations of stitch patterns.
Yarn for hand-knitting is usually sold as balls or skeins (hanks), although it may also be wound on spools or cones. A circular needle resembles two short knitting needles connected by a cable between them.
Get knitting! You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be.
