Do you know of any good intro to knitting tutorials on the internet?

  • Butting in...

    I found this on Pinterest. Actually I think Sarah pinned it originally. I'm in the process of learning to knit as well, it's been a goal for years.

  • On my knitting board on pinterest I have pinned a few random tutorials and things. I learned most of my knitting from youtube.  I would just type in a search for whatever technique I wanted, then watch a couple of videos until I found one I could understand easily.  Once I found it I would watch and practice, pausing when needed.

      I will also be happy to answer any knitting-related questions you might have to the best of my ability.

    Also- if you are just learning I highly recommend learning Continental Style vs. English style.  They are both fine for one strand knitting but if you ever get into color work, most people have to learn Continental to handle multiple yarns so I think it is better to start out with it. (Continental is holding your working yarn with your left hand and English is holding it with your right hand.)

  • Thanks, gals! Let the knitting begin! I will learn how to knit before #2 arrives!
