Knitting has become very popular in recent years. 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.
Heathered yarns contain small amounts of fibre of different colours, while tweed yarns may have greater amounts of different coloured fibres. The thread used in weaving is usually much finer than the yarn used in knitting, which can make the knitted fabric bulkier and have less drape than a woven fabric. To begin you can knit a nice pashmina style stole, just with three hundred stitches, if garter stitch means only knit stitches no purl stitches.
Often books give step by step instructions as well as a general knitting overview. Circular needles are typically 24-60 inches long, and are usually used singly or in pairs; again, the width of the knitted piece may be significantly longer than the length of the circular needle. It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist.
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit.
