Welcome to the wonderful world of knitting! Even if you've been here for a while, there is always something new about this most fascinating craft! Now it's a fun, creative hobby for anyone.
I then lay the knitting on a flat clean towel. The two types of stitches have a different visual effect; the knit stitches look like "V"'s stacked vertically, whereas the purl stitches look like a wavy horizontal line across the fabric. These ideas come for each person different, depending on there nature, but all these designs will surely turn into memorable creation.
Of course, the challenge of a complicated pattern, or a technique previously untried requires a bit more focus and can result in "tinking" (also known as un-knitting) or even some serious "frogging" (ripping out more than a few stitches, so called because "rip-it, rip-it" is reminiscent of the frog's "ribbit"). Since a typical piece of knitted fabric may have hundreds of wales, warp knitting is typically done by machine, whereas weft knitting is done by both hand and machine. If a person has never knitted before, they should start out with something smaller like a hat or a towel.
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. Not only will this provide a nice social outlet, but your new knitting friends may also be able to help you locate and use new knitting patterns and new ideas for knitting projects.
