teach me how to knit

In this article, I will attempt to explain some of the basic knitting stitches and everything they encompass. Ordinarily, stitches are knitted in the same order in every row, and the wales of the fabric run parallel and vertically along the fabric.

Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn. Wrap the knitting yarn around the tip of the right knitting needle, crossing over the two needles and hanging once again in front. You should always use the same tape measure when making a garment.

The opposing twist relieves some of the yarns' tendency to curl up and produces a thicker, balanced yarn. 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. We're all crazy busy, and finding time to make hand-knit gifts might seem completely impossible.

Take your time and understand the information on this site and you will be able to knit anything you want. Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project.
