Let me start by introducing you to the five stitch types that I believe are at the very heart of knitting! For many people one of the most enjoyable aspects of the craft is browsing through the many yarns available in a knitting shop.
As well, I like to be able to spread my work out and check my pattern for any mistakes and it is much easier to view when using these needles. For afghans, my personal favorite is the circular needle. Heathered yarns contain small amounts of fibre of different colours, while tweed yarns may have greater amounts of different coloured fibres.
Rayon and acetate fibers are also produced from cellulose mainly derived from trees. When knitting, the yarn ball winder should be used to keep the yarn at an even tension. A tie is visible at the left; after untying, the hank may be wound into a ball or balls suitable for knitting.
You will have only one new stitch from two. Once you learn the basics of knitting, you will want to continue progressing to more advanced stitches and knitting patterns.
