Ordinarily, stitches are knitted in the same order in every row, and the wales of the fabric run parallel and vertically along the fabric. Posted here are some easy knitting instructions for beginners.
If you have a mesh sweater dryer then lay it out carefully shaping the sweater to its original proportions. However, such circular wales are possible using Swiss darning, a form of embroidery, or by knitting a tube separately and attaching it to the knitted fabric. In weft knitting, the entire fabric may be produced from a single yarn, by adding stitches to each wale in turn, moving across the fabric as in a raster scan.
All other patterns emerge from these few stitches. In lace knitting, the pattern is formed by making small, stable holes in the fabric, generally with yarn overs. Knitting can be fun, especially if you are good with your hands and enjoy doing similar activities such as sewing, arts, crafts, and more.
Yarn for hand-knitting is usually sold as balls or skeins (hanks), although it may also be wound on spools or cones. If the fibers are first aligned by combing them, the yarn is smoother and called a worsted; by contrast, if the fibers are carded but not combed, the yarn is fuzzier and called woolen-spun.
Keep looking around this site for lots of tips, patterns, resources and ideas. So, if you want to slow down, and find meaning in your life again, try knitting.
