Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom). When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it.
You can also knit mittens, scarves using the sock-knitting machine. I learned a lot from a great book I discovered a while back. This concept is related to the pattern you have and, if in your pattern it says there are supposed to be , for example, 5 stitches to an inch and you can make only 3, than you should and need to change the size of your knitting needles.
The local yarn store will often provide assistance if you are having trouble with your pattern, regardless of whether you purchased your knitting supplies from them or a competitor. You can even make some easy handbags, mats to begin knitting. If you are knitting with circular needles, you can start making tubular scarf for this cast around 300 stitches, and join them together in a circle.
If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun. Thicker yarns generally require thicker knitting needles, whereas thinner yarns may be knit with thick or thin needles.
Good luck with your knitting. Patterns for knitting provide a strong outline and foundation for starting any new knitting project.
