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! Here's how I care for the things I have been knitting.
During knitting, the active stitches are secured mechanically, either from individual hooks (in knitting machines) or from a knitting needle or frame in hand-knitting. People who are experienced in the art of knitting know the importance of using the best quality knitting yarn they can get hold of. This is used to great effect in lace knitting, which consists of making patterns and pictures using such holes, rather than with the stitches themselves.
Plied yarns may themselves be plied together, producing cabled yarns or multi-stranded yarns. Your knitting pattern whilst looking attractive needs to be suitable to the garment you want to knit. First the skill level; it can be easy, medium, hard or beginner, intermediate or advance, each pattern has specific skill level, you can start with beginner and then go for complex advanced patterns.
The knitting of new stitches occurs only at the tapered ends, and needles with lighted tips have been sold to allow knitters to knit in the dark. Dyeing may be done industrially, by hand or even hand-painted onto the yarn.
There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs. You may also want to consider finding a local knitting group or meeting online others who share your hobby.
