Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral. Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft!
Various closures for the garments, such as frogs and buttons can be added; usually buttonholes are knitted into the garment, rather than cut. One of the earliest known examples of knitting was finely decorated cotton socks found in Egypt in the end of the first millennium AD. You can also choose between circular needles and straight needles.
Of these types, wool is generally favored for knitting, chiefly owing to its superior elasticity, warmth and (sometimes) felting; however, wool is generally less convenient to clean and some people are allergic to it. The color-scheme of a yarn is sometimes called its colorway. Knitting a wool blanket will probably take a person many tries, but in the end if they can stick to practicing, they will become a good knitter.
Brainstorm, and figure out which way of teaching would be best for you and your students! Not only will this provide a nice social outlet, but your new knitting friends may also be able to help you locate and use new knitting patterns and new ideas for knitting projects.
