how to knit web tutorial

Knitting threads or yarns are used to create cloths or warm cloths. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.

When you learn these simple stitches and stitch patterns, you can knit virtually any pattern that you wish. In knitting you are often counting your stitches and focusing on nothing more than the stitches being created and the count itself. Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn.

Different materials have different frictions and grip the yarn differently; slick needles such as metallic needles are useful for swift knitting, whereas rougher needles such as bamboo are less prone to dropping stitches. All in all choosing your knitting yarn is a pleasurable experience. Different methods of casting on are used for different effects: one may be stretchy enough for lace, while another provides a decorative edging Provisional cast-ons are used when the knitting will continue in both directions from the cast-on.

Yarn for hand-knitting is usually sold as balls or skeins (hanks), although it may also be wound on spools or cones. It is common practice to save the yarn band for future reference, especially if additional skeins must be purchased.

Good luck with your knitting. Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up.
