Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U. Knitters were first believed to have begun their craft in the first few centuries AD.
For large or complex patterns, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of which stitch should be knit in an particular way; therefore, several tools have been developed to identify the number of a particular row or stitch, including circular stitch markers, hanging markers, extra yarn and counters. When you complete a lovely, warm sweater made with your own hands, you can proudly wear it and explain that you knitted it yourself. Other tools are used to prepare yarn for knitting, to measure and design knitted garments, or to make knitting easier or more comfortable.
Other simple textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter stitch, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches. Double-pointed knitting needles usually come in sets of four (US size 1, on right) or five (US size 8, on left). The knit stitch is formed by making loops which interweave with one another; one after another.
When knitting, some knitters enclose their balls in jars to keep them clean and untangled with other yarns; the free yarn passes through a small hole in the jar-lid. The strength of the spun yarn against breaking is determined by the amount of twist, the length of the fibers and the thickness of the yarn.
Most new knitters should start with some of the basic patterns listed above and work on mastering basic stitches. Good luck with your knitting.
