Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting. When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
There is a cylinder with slots for the needles in the machine and the needles have latches. It takes an hour to knit a sock. All other patterns emerge from these few stitches.
A second potential difficulty is that the knitted piece will slide off the tapered end of the needles when unattended; this is prevented by "point protectors" that cap the tapered ends. In knitting certain articles of clothing, especially larger ones like sweaters, the final knitted garment will be made of several knitted pieces, with individual sections of the garment knit separately and then sewn together. Double-pointed needles are tapered at both ends, which allows them to be knit from either end.
Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches. Keep YOUR knitting on the "Cutting Edge" with FREE patterns.
