I can remember sitting with my dear Grandma Mary on Sunday afternoons at her house surrounded by endless balls of yarn. My favorite item of clothing was a sweater she knitted for me one year. I wore it until it was full of holes
My Grandmother was very patient with an overly eager 10 year old me. She took each step of showing me how to knit slowly. She carefully described each knit, purl, and yarn over in a way where I could keep up.
In this Beginners Guide To Knitting by Pictures, my tone with you, the reader, is just as gentle, simple, and familiar. The narrative will feel like your grandmother is sitting beside you and teaching you how to knit every step of the way.
