Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.
It does not require any special or inborn talent to start knitting. The two types of stitches have a different visual effect; the knit stitches look like "V"'s stacked vertically, whereas the purl stitches look like a wavy horizontal line across the fabric. When you want to create some products that offer more functionality and usability, consider checking out a washcloth pattern.
Once you know the essentials you will be able to follow most knitting instructions which are just combinations or variations of two stitches. I think when people try to learn to knit they choose the wrong pattern and the wrong supplies. You will know how to do something that not many people know how to do, but might wish they did.
Cable needles are a special case of dpns, although they usually are not straight, but dimpled in the middle. Different yarns and knitting needles may be used to achieve different end products, by giving the final piece different color, texture, weight or integrity.
Even a beginner can make a simple scarf with novelty yarn in just a few hours, and have it look just fantastic. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
