When I have spent hours working on knitting a sweater, I want to make sure it looks as good after a dozen washes as it did the day I was knitting it. Knitting parties also are becoming popular in small and large communities around the U.
Flat knitting is usually used to knit flat pieces like scarves, blankets, afghans, and the backs and fronts of sweaters. The knitting yarn will look like it is at the front and you will now take it to the back and start the second row of transferring stitches to the empty right needle. First find a pattern with the some basic knitting instructions; a small flat item really is best.
A sequence of stitches in which each stitch suspended from the next is called a wale. This produces a reversible fabric with raised horizontal ridges on each side of the work. It doesn't care what month it is or what holiday is approaching, there is always something fun to knit.
It is common practice to save the yarn band for future reference, especially if additional skeins must be purchased. Cable needles are typically very short (a few inches), and are used to hold stitches temporarily while others are being knitted.
Exercise is great, yet, doing something for your soul, is just as important. Even if you're a pretty proficient knitter, this isn't the time to learn a new technique or work with a skinny fingering-weight yarn that will take forever to knit up.
