If you want to learn to knit or if you are an advanced knitter looking for a way to improve your knitting technique, I’ve discovered a free knitting e-course from Anna Stewart called Knit Easy. You can simply sign up on her website and receive the entire e-course right to your email address. Knit Easy begins with basic knitting techniques like casting on and off, knitting your first row, your first square and then it ends with knitting your first scarf.
The newest edition of The Knitter’s Companion, with 5 hours of DVD instructional tutorials, is due out in November. This book will make a great gift for any knitter on your list or use it as a handy reference for your own knitting library. Pre-Order your copy from Amazon.com and save.
The Power and The Glory The Knitting Experience is a terrific reference book for any knitter and received a 5 star rating on Amazon from 127 happy knitters. If you’re looking for a gift for the knitter on your list, pretty much every knitter I know would love to have Sally Melville’s book to stick into her knitting bag to read and enjoy.
I recently started taking a tai chi class and the lessons I’m learning about patience and focusing on the perfection of the moment have helped me to enjoy knitting more, especially when it comes to fixing knitting mistakes.
Great video on how to pick up a dropped stitch in knitting.
