Like having your own instructor by your side, First Time Knitting guides you carefully from your first cast-on to confident knitting. It begins with descriptions of knitting needles, yarns, and other handy tools and then teaches you how to use them. Projects at the end of each chapter incorporate progressively more difficult skills. Full-color photos, step-by-step instructions, and valuable tips help you learn the fine points of knitting while making fashions and home décor items for yourself and others.
