Knitting consists of loops called stitches pulled through each other. I wanted to set out some basic knitting instructions as a refresher so here it is.
It has slowed somewhat, but its enduring nature is a testament to both the relaxation it bestows on the practitioner, and the joy of craftsmanship. But it is all part of the process, and most knitters, no matter how goal-oriented in their daily lives, face this part of the knitting experience with cool composure and aplomb. When knitting, the yarn ball winder should be used to keep the yarn at an even tension.
I then lay the knitting on a flat clean towel. The Purl stitch will also be in any knitting instructions. For the first, pass the right needle through the first stitch of your left hand needle.
While knitting patterns can offer suggestions for design and color ideas, it is ultimately up to the artist to decide what the final product what look like. 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.
