Learning to Knit

Description

Knitting is an intriguing and productive hobby, and an excellent method for coping with a hectic and stressful lifestyle..... And it's way cheaper than therapy. This DVD assumes no prior knowledge, and walks you through all the steps for casting on, knitting, purling, increasing and decreasing. For the visual learner you can't improve upon the slow demonstrations and the DVD's ability to repeat as many times as you need. I use three washcloths as the introductory projects because they are quicker than the traditional interminable scarf, teach you more technical skills, and are completely useful even with the normal novice knitter "owies" included. By the time you have completed all three washcloths you will know more than most beginning knitters and can move happily on to sweaters. To complete these washcloths you will need a ball of cotton or cotton/hemp yarn (3.5 oz, worsted weight), a pair of Size 7 needles and a darning or tapestry needle.
