I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. Knitting is the art of turning threads int
Flat knitting, which is done on two straight needles, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a seamless tube. The pattern is knit first stitch, purl next stitch and repeat until the row is knit. These meandering loops can be stretched easily in different directions, which gives knitting much more elasticity than woven fabrics; depending on the yarn and knitting pattern, knitted garments can stretch as much as 500%.
Once the knitted piece is finished, the remaining live stitches are "cast off. In knitting, there is the concept of gauge and it means the number of stitches in a given length. The local yarn store will often provide assistance if you are having trouble with your pattern, regardless of whether you purchased your knitting supplies from them or a competitor.
You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
