Knitting

Why you should start knitting!

Knitting is a method for production of textile fabrics by interlacing yarn loops with loops of the same or other yarns. It is used to create many types of garments. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.

Difference betwwen knitting and crocheting

While knitting by hand, usually two needles are used to hold the live stitches. While crochet uses a single hook, usually creating one stitch at a time, finishing one stitch before creating the next.
Knitted fabric tends to be flexible and flowing, the stitches forming a shape that is similar to a "V". Crochet fabric has a more structured feel, each stitch consisting of several loops entwined.

Where should I begin?

Knitting might seem a bit difficult in the beginning, but Youtube offers some great videos to learn the basics. When you have learned the basic, it is time for your first project.
If you want to start with a small, then I suggest a cloth, but if you want to jump right into it, then a sweater or a slipover, perhaps.
There are a lot of different websites, which provide knittingpatters, both for beginner and advanced knitters!
