Knitting is fun, therapeutic and produces fabulous results. But while previous generations might have learned to knit at their mother's knee, today's would-be knitters rarely have access to such a reservoir of knowledge. "Start Knitting" fills this gap. It begins with the basic and fundamental skills of hand-knitting, describing the main equipment needed, and showing you how to hold needles and yarn, cast on and off, and complete the two basic stitches - knit and purl. Once you have mastered these essential skills, you can move on to gradually more difficult techniques. Each new topic builds on the one techniques covered before, with inspirational projects at every stage designed to put the skills learned thus far into practice. From making up and shaping, to basic and traditional stitches, this book has everything you need to know to become an accomplished hand-knitter.
