Knitting needles in a variety of sizes (US 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 15 from the bottom). Knitting is worked in rounds (the equivalent of rows in flat knitting) in a spiral.
Other simple textures can be made with nothing but knit and purl stitches, including garter stitch, ribbing, and moss and seed stitches. These fiber types are chemically different, corresponding to proteins, carbohydrates and synthetic polymers, respectively. On the wrong side, the ends of the loops are visible, both the tops and bottoms, creating a much more bumpy texture sometimes called reverse stockinette.
Smaller items, such as socks and hats, are usually knit in one piece on double-pointed needles or circular needles. Circular needles are great for knitting sweaters or afghans. The local yarn store will often provide assistance if you are having trouble with your pattern, regardless of whether you purchased your knitting supplies from them or a competitor.
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important.
