Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! I hope you will follow my knitting instructions.
Push the point of the right knitting needle in between the front of the first and second stitches, pointing the knitting needle to the right to feed the point through the first stitch keeping it under the left needle. New wales can be begun from any of the edges of a knitted fabric; this is known as picking up stitches and is the basis for entrelac, in which the wales run perpendicular to one another in a checkerboard pattern. Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work.
You should always use the same tape measure when making a garment. Such needles are usually 10-16 inches long but, due to the compressibility of knitted fabrics, may be used to knit pieces significantly wider. A wale can split into two or more wales using increases, most commonly involving a yarn over.
Patterns and motifs are coarser with thicker yarns; thicker yarns produce bold visual effects, whereas thinner yarns are best for refined patterns. The latter is better for knitting, since the yarn is much less likely to tangle.
You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby. Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important.
