I have started knitting and now I can't stop!
(Tips would be nice if you have them, mostly on where to get cheap yarn)
got any tips on knitting? I'm a beginner beginner. Like the most I know is how to finger knit and I have some of the stuff I need to knitting something. But no idea how to start and tons of anxiety over starting it and it being a mess. Got any tips?
Hi! Sadly I don't, because turns out I can crochet but cannot knit to save my life 😠My mother tried teaching me, I've tried learning with books and videos...it just doesn't click for me. I wish I could help, I'm sorry!
But if anyone has good tips and/or resources for beginner knitters, feel free to leave them here!
Hopefully you'll be able to get some tips. Good luck! 🫶
hey, i mean this with all the love in my heart. if you are trying to get into knit or crochet, you are probably going to see a beautiful chenille yarn and decide 'i want to make something comfy with this for my first project'. ignore that voice. the devil is trying to get in. please do not start with chenille yarn or you have a 97% chance of never trying fibre crafts again. it is horrendously difficult to work with and even worse if youre trying to learn with it.
i have friends who are far more experienced fibre artists than me who will not touch chenille yarn because it is not worth the headache. the best thing you can do for practicing is start with a nice cotton or possibly a wool/acrylic blend thats compatible with a pretty universal size like a 5mm hook/needles.
i had been knitting for a while when i first tried crochet and i first tried with chenille. i nearly gave up crochet altogether. please. just like practice a little bit first before you try chenille.
Hey! Saw your addition to my knitting chart post and had to meddle! for changing colors, 1 leave your beginning color on the last stitch you made. 2 when you cut the original thread, leave a tail. maybe cut a hand length from middle finger to wrist if you’re a beginner. It won’t go anywhere since the actual stitch is on the needle. You can also leave it joined to the ball if you’re worried about it. 3 Then stick your needle through the next stitch like you would knit or purl. 4 take your next color of yarn and wrap it around the needle the same way you would to make the next stitch and pull it through. 5 Leave a tail from the beginning end of the yarn, of a similar size to the one you left when you cut the original color. 6 you can go in with a darning needle later (at the end or when you have enough rows built up) and just follow the shape of the stitches to weave it in. It totally disappears. 7 I like to weave my threads in following the pattern in a circle, going down through past stitches and coming back up for safe keeping. People also just follow a vertical or horizontal line through the pattern. Whatever works for you. You don’t have to weave the whole length of the tail into the work. You can do maybe a fourth. 8 I like to stretch the work a little, horizontally, and tug the end of the tail out away from the work, cutting as close to the pattern as possible. The tail kind of sucks back into the pattern when you release the stretch. 9 once you wash it, it all fuzzes together and locks. 10 go wild
I hope that added any clarity! Good luck on your knitting journey!
Thank you!!

Y’all, I need to share the best knitting resource I have EVER found.
Patty Lyon’s Knitting Bag Of Tricks
This book is the biggest knitting lifesaver. It has tips for everything from how to make a proper gauge swatch (that will actually be useful!) to fixing that horrible nubbin when joining in the round to squared off corners on your bind-off and so much more!
Anytime I start a project now, I check this book for tips and tricks. I’ve yet to come up empty. My knitting has improved more than I thought possible with only a handful of small, well explained techniques given in a very down-to-earth manner. Even my tension and consistency have improved leaps and bounds!
I seriously cannot recommend this book enough. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned pro, self-taught or taught by experts, I am sure that you will find something helpful in this book.
Happy knitting!
P.S. here is the ISBN number of the book, in case you have a hard time finding it by title for some reason.
ISBN-13: 9781446309117
P.P.S. Sorry I sound like a salesman here, this book has just really been an absolute lifesaver and I’ve been needing to gush about it to someone other than my mom and fiancé for a while now.
Do you hate having a lot of ends to weave in at the end? 🧶🪡 I like to weave in the first one in advance (especially if I’m sure it won’t be needed to close a hole or even out a jog…) to get it out of the way.
Most people I know, hate weaving in ends. I used to hate it too, partly because I was young and impatient (that issue has been resolved: I a
More adventures in knitting! I just figured out how to remember whether to knit/purl normally or through the back loop for each type of lifted increase.
You insert the needle from the side of the origin stitch.
So if you're lifting from a stitch on the right needle, you come in from the right (either ktbl, or purl). If you're lifting from a stitch on the left needle, you come in from the left (so knit, or ptbl).
The lean of them I find easier to remember. If you lift before knitting the origin stitch, you're adding it on the right of that stitch, so it will lean right. If you're lifting it after knitting the origin stitch, you're adding it on the left of that stitch, so it'll lean left.
For remembering M1R/L, I combined the tip I saw on nimble-needles (about halfway down the page there's a big "how to remember" titled section) that the front leg of the stitch should lean in the desired direction--plus my personal observation/interpretation of "knit (or purl) through whichever side is harder/more annoying to get the needle into because that part of the leg is shorter and has less room." (The site does include a way to remember the second half of the tip, but it's easier for me to internalize "more annoying" than "closer to the next stitch.")
This is gonna save me SO many reference tabs.
