For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop. Knitting threads or yarns are used to create cloths or warm cloths.
A baby blanket is the perfect place to practice more complex pattern stitches. Depending on their size and shape, the rigid frames are called knitting boards, knitting rings (also called knitting looms) or knitting spools (also known as knitting knobbies, knitting nancies, or corkers). In plying, two or more yarns are spun together, almost always in the opposite sense from which they were spun individually; for example, two Z-twist yarns are usually plied with an S-twist.
A good place to start particularly if you are relatively new to knitting to look for patterns is the yarn skein, which comes wrapped and nearly every one of these will have a pattern on it. The first step is to setup a basket or bonnet which makes the needles move continuously. These usually utilize the basic stockinet stitch, which makes them ideal for beginners.
It will just some time at the beginning, but you will learn and get experience. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
