I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is. Knit One Purl Two happens to be one of the most well known knitting terms, well known by non-knitters and knitters alike.

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. Another problem is that too much knitting may lead to hand and wrist troubles; for this, special stress-relieving gloves are available. Start with the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand.

If you pick a simple pattern, knitting is really easy! If you're an absolute beginner or just feeling a little lack of confidence, knit up some scarves in chunky, beautiful yarn. A second potential difficulty is that the knitted piece will slide off the tapered end of the needles when unattended; this is prevented by "point protectors" that cap the tapered ends. Other tools are used to prepare yarn for knitting, to measure and design knitted garments, or to make knitting easier or more comfortable.

Knit it like you would knit any stitch. But, that's the essence of knitting.
