I wanted to set out some basic knitting in I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is.
Plants used for fibers include cotton, flax (for linen), bamboo, ramie, hemp, jute, nettle, raffia, yucca, coconut husk, banana trees, soy and corn. Now count the stitches to make sure you haven't dropped any and turn the work around putting the knitting needle with the stitches on in your left hand to start the next row. For general garment creation, one of the best known kitting yarns is Sirdar'.
Even though knitting machines have advanced greatly in the last 500 years or so, however, hand knitting is still very much alive, as a very popular hobby. This is my version of instructions for the two basic knitting stitches but I have found that it is hard to use a few written instructions. For the first, pass the right needle through the first stitch of your left hand needle.
You watch it come to life as you go, and little by little, your knitting becomes reality. You'll be amazed at how much faster the second, third, and fourth version of the same pattern can be.
