It's time to start thinking of Christmas presents & there's nothing like giving someone you love a hand knitted scarf or hat. Knitting is easy and fun! I really enjoy knitting, mainly because if I make a mistake, I can just rip out the yarn and start over again. The library has a lot of really good books on knitting for all stages and ages of knitters. I learned how to knit out of books & so can you. Here are a few I recommend.
for beginner knitters:
DVD "Art of Knitting"
"Knitting: Teach Yourself Visually" by Sharon Turner
"Knitgrrl" and "Knitgrrl 2" by Shannon Okey
"Not Another Teen Knitting Book" by Vickie Howell
for beginner to intermediate knitters:
"Hot Knits" by Melissa Leapman
"Punk Knits" by Share Ross
for advanced knitters:
"Knit Coture" by Gail Downey
Even if you are a beginnning knitter, it's fun to look at the more advanced pattern books to give yourself some goals. Everyone starts out knitting scarves & the more you knit the better you become.
There are a lot of good internet sites for knitters, one that I really have learned a lot from is Knitting Help.com
because it has videos of knitting techniques.
Happy knitting! Cindy@Central
