Why Should I Knit?

Knitting is an amazing way for you to relax, and even though it has been around for hundreds of years, the techniques of the craft keep growing with more and more people picking up the needles.

Once you get into it, knitting can be very relaxing – likened to meditation, simple knitting projects use the same few stitches repeatedly, so you can zone out and chill whilst creating.

After a hard day at work, what could be better than arriving home and knitting your way into the night – creating something for yourself or for others to enjoy?

Start Out With A Quick And Simple Project 

As a knitting newbie learning new skills, it’s a good idea to start out with a small project and a simple pattern. 

A great choice for a first project is a dishcloth. As they knit up quickly, they have a simple shape, and they can make a lovely gift for a housewarming party.

Another perfect project would be a hat you can make with chunky weight yarn and large needles.

    1. That sounds like a lot of fun! I made a small cozy once for a ‘tea for one’ pot. It was very cute.
