Knitting used to be considered an old lady’s pastime, but not anymore! In this day and age, with so many discount stores around, people have taken to purchasing ready-made knitwear instead of making their own, which is such a shame, as nothing looks, feels and lasts as good as homemade knitwear. And it doesn’t just have to be clothing. You could knit all sorts of things – blankets, bags, serviette holders, socks…the options are endless. With a few starting tips and techniques you can start knitting your own creations with little cost and lots of fun. Another added advantage to knitting your own items is that you are in control over what colors you choose, and what patterns or stitch styles you wish to knit. It’s also a great winter hobby for those cold nights at home. And in no time at all, you could be sitting there snuggled up in your homemade afghan, wearing your own designed beanie, and knitting a pair of socks. Here is a list of what you will find inside this book: Information on materials and tools Knitting stitches and styles Glossary of knitting terms and abbreviations Tips and techniques Patterns
