Every winter I mean to learn to knit and every year I fail to even attempt it so this year I am picking up my needles and giving it a go. I started off downloading this guide from Spotlight and had a go at casting on and trying the basic stitches. With the help of this video which clearly shows how to cast on:
However I hit a snag pretty quickly as reading knitting patterns is like reading a foreign language but I found this fantastically helpful guide from Crafty Council and after reading this equally helpful guide about knitting up vintage patterns from Skiff Vintage Patterns I'm ready to start knitting. I will keep you updated of my progress.
If you get stuck, give me a yell :).
ReplyDeleteAlso, Ravelry.com - check it out if you're not on there already. It's like facebook for knitters :)
