love to knit dish cloths

Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom). The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them.

Plenty of finished knitting projects never use more than a single colour of yarn, but there are many ways to work in multiple colors. This is my version of instructions for the two basic knitting stitches but I have found that it is hard to use a few written instructions. You will know how to do something that not many people know how to do, but might wish they did.

Different factors may be more significant than others for different knitting projects, so there is no one "best" yarn. Crochet hooks and a darning needle are often useful in binding off or in joining two knitted pieces edge-to-edge. I drain the water, squashing the sweater into the bowl to get rid of the water.

Keep YOUR knitting on the "Cutting Edge" with FREE patterns. Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up.
