how to french knit

Anyone who has anything to do with knitting will know the importance of knitting yarns. 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.

Some people prefer circular needles because they are more comfortable to use and you can knit both in the round or back and forth like straight needles. Knitted garments became fashionable for the wealthy upper class, and silk gloves and stockings were highly prized. The knitting community, as a whole, is a warm, nurturing place.

The color-scheme of a yarn is sometimes called its colorway. Even a beginning knitter can make wonderful gifts that will show your love and creativity! Sock knitting machines are antiques and they are not made any more.

The fibers making up a yarn may be continuous filament fibers such as silk and many synthetics, or they may be staples (fibers of an average length, typically a few inches); naturally filament fibers are sometimes cut up into staples before spinning. These five stitches, I believe, form the very foundation of knitting.

Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns. The place where smart knitters gather resources and share stories.
