    About this ebook

    Knitting is a skill, a craft, a science, and an art all rolled into one. When someone learns to knit, he or she can create fashion that makes a wearable a statement or accessories that make a house a home. This book is an engaging, enlightening introduction to knitting. It will take you from the very beginning stages - knowing what to look for when you’re shopping, learning the basics you need to know to create a simple project right now, deciphering a pattern – and give you the confidence to develop your skills enough to master even the most complicated project later on. Each section of the book delivers a nuts and bolts how-to with clear descriptions of techniques accompanied by illustrations. 

    Some of the skills readers will learn include:

    1. where to find ideas

    2. materials needed

    3. how to cast on

    4. how to do the knit stitch

    5. how to do the purl stitch

    6. how to tie off

    7. how to bind off

    8. how to block

    9. how to care for and store your finished work

    10. how to seam pieces together

    11. how to read a pattern

    12. how to deal with mistakes


    Directions for making a simple and fun project are also included.

    Knitting - Angela Green

    Introduction

    If you are just taking your first steps into the wonderful world of knitting, welcome! You’ll find that knitting is not just for grannies in rocking chairs anymore, but a skill that people of any age or background can learn to magically transform a simple piece of yarn into a beautiful fabric that can be used in the home, for fashion, or as a one-of-a-kind accessory that you can show off to your friends.

    When you’re first learning, you may find the process to be awkward or uncomfortable, but with just a little practice you will soon be addicted. You’ll find yourself browsing through yarn stores or the yarn section of craft and hobby stores and dreaming of the beautiful things you will create. If actually touching the yarn isn’t that important to you, you can even order it online and have it delivered right to your
