Knitting is the oldest craft among all the crafts. Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom).
Once you learn these two stitches you will find everything else is just a variation of the knit and purl stitches. You must work on it consistently to complete a project. Heathered yarns contain small amounts of fibre of different colours, while tweed yarns may have greater amounts of different coloured fibres.
It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist. There are old favourites such as books and magazines. 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.
Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products, by giving the final piece different color, texture, weight or integrity. Patterns and motifs are coarser with thicker yarns; thicker yarns produce bold visual effects, whereas thinner yarns are best for refined patterns.
You will have only one new stitch from two. You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality.
