Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! Knitting threads or yarns are used to create cloths or warm cloths.

Of these types, wool is generally favored for knitting, chiefly owing to its superior elasticity, warmth and (sometimes) felting; however, wool is generally less convenient to clean and some people are allergic to it. When knitting, the yarn ball winder should be used to keep the yarn at an even tension. It takes an hour to knit a sock.

A piece of knitting begins with the process of casting on (also known as "binding on"), which involves the initial creation of the stitches on the needle. Knitting is done by looping those threads, into each other by stitching. Each pattern requires that you knit a certain number of stitches using a particular yarn and a specified needle.

These few basic knitting instructions are the foundation of any project you will ever knit. Good luck with your knitting.
