Easy Knitting Lessons By A Beginner
OK, so I've been meaning to learn to knit for a long time, but at the time of writing this intro I've only been knitting for about 2 weeks. So in order to force myself to learn how to knit properly this time, I'm going to create a video series to help fellow beginners too.
If you've ever wanted to knit but think it looks too complicated, then this is for you - because I know how you feel right now! But even after only 2 weeks, you can get the basics (I promise), and I'm going to break up the videos into techniques and small bite-size sections so hopefully it won't feel overwhelming.
All the major (and in my opinion best) techniques will be covered - including my favourite technique 'fair isle' - so that you never need to learn anything else... unless you want to expand your knowledge later of course.
I hope you find the videos easy to follow, and if you have any questions, please let me know :-)
