Knitting is the art of turning threads int Like weaving, knitting is a technique for producing a two-dimensional fabric from a one-dimensional yarn or thread.
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. Knitting may be hand made or machine made. For afghans, my personal favorite is the circular needle.
It does not require any special or inborn talent to start knitting. In spinning, the fibers are twisted so that the yarn resists breaking under tension; the twisting may be done in either direction, resulting in an Z-twist or S-twist yarn. Rayon and acetate fibers are also produced from cellulose mainly derived from trees.
Scissors obviously are necessary for cutting the yarn, large darning needle or tapestry needle which can be used for sewing seams or for finishing off ends, knitting needles because how can you possibly knit without these. A great variety of synthetic dyes have been developed since the synthesis of indigo dye in the mid-19th century; however, natural dyes are often favored, although they are generally less brilliant.
Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important. Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project.
