The process of knitting has three basic tasks: (1) the active (unsecured) stitches must be held so they don't drop; (2) these stitches must be released sometime after they are secured; and (3) new bights of yarn must be passed through the fabric, usually through active stitches, thus securing them. Knitting may be done by hand or by machine.
The first and most common type consists of two slender, straight sticks tapered to a point at one end, and with a knob at the other end to prevent stitches from slipping off. These balls are usually sold with yarn bands which will give the details of that yarn which you are purchasing. The key to knitting for gifts is to keep things simple, use quality materials, and, if you want to knit several gifts, consider using one pattern multiple times.
All you need to start knitting are knitting needles, yarn and good patterns or instructions. This produces a reversible fabric with raised horizontal ridges on each side of the work. This produces a reversible fabric with raised horizontal ridges on each side of the work.
Be sure to try using other available resources, such as local craft and hobby stores. There are many knitting guilds and other knitting groups or knitting clubs.
