Do you knit? What books, patterns, websites and other resources would you recommend for a complete novice? I'm thinking of learning to knit and could do with some tips on getting started. How should I begin?
I did try to start knitting once before, a few years ago, but I was rubbish at it. At the time I found the repetitiveness of the activity a bit boring too, so I didn't persist with it. But now I feel that a quiet repetitive action is exactly what I need to help me chillaxercise. I'm feeling more relaxed just thinking about it...
So what would you recommend I look at? I literally know nothing about knitting needles, wool, patterns etc, so any tips or recommendations for easy ways to start would be really appreciated. There's a massive sale on Craftsy classes on at the moment, including this beginners' knitting class which I'm thinking about signing up for. Aesthetics-wise, I prefer chunkier knits to fine ones, both modern and vintage styles, and have an irrational aversion to multicoloured wool or wool with bits in (is there a name for that?). What should/could I make?
Thanks for your help!
