Knit One Purl Two

Ever thought about learning to knit? Right now when we are all at home more might just be a great time to start. “But HOW to start?” you might be thinking. We found a great tutorial we are sharing with you today.

As you are no doubt aware, you can find video tutorials for doing almost anything on line. But sometimes there are so many to choose from, making a choice in itself can be overwhelming, never mind learning how to do the something new.

We checked out a number of options for knitting on You Tube and found this one to be very simple and clear in the instruction. Here is the first in a series of videos to teach you how to “cast on”, which in knitting terms is really just getting started.

For more “how to” videos in this series, as well as patterns and photo instructions, you can simply click HERE or you can go to sheepandstitch.com/how-to-knit.

So grab some yarn and some knitting needles from Michaels, Joann Fabrics, or your local yarn store, or just order them on line, and get started. Who knows what beautiful things you’ll learn to make!

Don’t waste this quarantine feeling blue or discouraged because you aren’t doing what you usually can do. Use this time to be productive and learn something you’ve been thinking about doing for a long time but with your usual busyness just haven’t taken the time to learn.

Learning new things, like knitting for example, can bring a lot of joy and make life, even quarantined life, feel much more abundant!
