Are you interested in knitting but you have no knowledge about it? Well, if thats the case, here is everything you need to know about knitting for beginners!Knitting is making fabric with yarn using two or more needles. Loops are made on one needle as the starting point and then the fabric gradually grows by drawing other loops through them as they are passed back and forth on the needles, moving from row to row.Knitting was mainly done on silk, wool, and other fibers that decay rapidly, even in the most controlled, most perfect conditions. Knitting needles are just an ordinary pair of sharpened sticks and could have been anything, a pair of hair picks, skewers, maybe spindles, or any of the other million uses you could think of sharpened sticks; so its really difficult to identify them as actual knitting needles beyond any reasonable doubt.Knitted items in the past were all done by hand and yarn, a valuable item, was not disposed until it has completely worn out to the point of disintegrating. Knitted sweaters that do not fit anymore can easily be unraveled and re-knitted over and over again. Not many people had the brilliant idea to save their everyday items for their children. Leaving heirlooms was not a major consideration.Because of these factors, no one really knows the exact origins of knitting. Its all a huge mystery; and with solid evidences missing, there are not that many valuable knitted items left for us to discover. All experts, and the rest of us, can do is make intelligent guesses derived from fragments and scraps found in museums around the world.This book covers:History of knittingBefore Starting To KnitHow to start knittingBasics of knittingTools, Materials, and SuppliesChoosing Yarn for Your Knitting ProjectWorking with Multicolored YarnBeginners knitting projectsKnitting patternsKnitted Vest ProjectTips and tricksMistakes to avoidAnd much more!While its true that knitting has not been around for very long, and that its pa
