Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD. Knitting is no longer only for grandmothers or just any mothers.
The most important property of needles is their diameter, which ranges from below 2 mm to 25 mm (roughly 1 inch). The darning needle is useful when tucking in those loose ends if you prefer instead of the crochet hook. Such needles are usually 10-16 inches long but, due to the compressibility of knitted fabrics, may be used to knit pieces significantly wider.
Flat knitting, which is done on two straight needles, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a seamless tube. Start with the knitting needle with the cast on stitches in your left hand. Once the knitted piece is finished, the remaining live stitches are "cast off.
Knit it like you would knit any stitch. 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.
