how to knit sleeves

Knitting is the oldest craft among all the crafts. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.

The first and most common type consists of two slender, straight sticks tapered to a point at one end, and with a knob at the other end to prevent stitches from slipping off. First find a pattern with the some basic knitting instructions; a small flat item really is best. The local yarn store will often provide assistance if you are having trouble with your pattern, regardless of whether you purchased your knitting supplies from them or a competitor.

The US size 7 and 15 needles are bamboo and wood, respectively, whereas the others are aluminum. This bag need not be some expensive item any medium size cloth bag will suffice. It can be a humbling experience to the perfectionist.

Good luck with your knitting. Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas.
