In this brief article we aim to just give a basic understanding of knitting needles, their sizing and what you need to look out for. I have chosen the following pattern samples because they are the easiest patterns for a beginner knitter.
Egyptian artifacts and art have led many historians to credit the creation of knitting as a way to design clothing to the Egyptians. People who are experienced in the art of knitting know the importance of using the best quality knitting yarn they can get hold of. It is not done like knitting on needles, it is done on your fingers.
The knitting yarn should be at the back of the work. Push the point of the right knitting needle in between the front of the first and second stitches, pointing the knitting needle to the right to feed the point through the first stitch keeping it under the left needle. There are old favourites such as books and magazines.
You also will usually want to stick with chunky yarns (this is a good use for "novelty" yarns, which have lots of texture and are usually thick but also light and fluffy), since they knit up quickly so you can make more presents. So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting.
