Knitting and Crocheting

Many people over the years have found knitting and crocheting to be a fun and useful activity. For beginners, learning one of these crafts may seem like a daunting task; however, with a little time and effort, these activities can become not only a fun way to pass time, but also a useful way to create unique pieces to keep or give to friends and family.

If you're a beginner knitter, the challenge is to know where to start. Some may say the obvious place is with your needles and yarn, but even for an intermediate knitter, this can be a daunting task. The following guides can help  in choosing the needles and yarns most appropriate for the level of knitting and projects you would like to complete. Remember, start with simple projects, like a scarf. You can complete it when you feel it is long enough, and your progress is easy to see. Once you have gotten into the swing of things, consider trying out a knitting kit . Generally, kits have patterns and tools for those looking to create something wearable, like a poncho, sweater or a scarf. They often include the yarn and necessary pattern for the project. A more beginner set would include needles ,yarn  and a basic instruction booklet.
