In very simple cases, knitting can be done without tools, using only the fingers to do these tasks; however, knitting is usually carried out using tools such as knitting needles, knitting machines or rigid frames. Ordinarily, stitches are knitted in the same order in every row, and the wales of the fabric run parallel and vertically along the fabric.
A beginner is naturally clumsy because they are not comfortable with using two needles. For medium or intermediate levels you can have patterns like stocking caps, sweaters and knitted scarves; usually patterns with altered stitches and patterns for advanced levels, you can have patterns which are complicated and which require lot of shaping. Wrap the knitting yarn around the tip of the right knitting needle, crossing over the two needles and hanging once again in front.
A wale can split into two or more wales using increases, most commonly involving a yarn over. Catch the knitting yarn on the end on the right knitting needle and pull it through the first stitch to the front of the work. Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn.
Not only will this provide a nice social outlet, but your new knitting friends may also be able to help you locate and use new knitting patterns and new ideas for knitting projects. Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores.
