Thinking about learning to knit but have absolutely no idea where to start?
In this video, I’m talking through everything I wish I’d known before I started knitting — from choosing your first yarn and needles, to understanding knitting patterns, picking a first project, and avoiding some of the mistakes I made as a beginner.
This isn’t a knitting tutorial, but more of a starting point if you’re completely new to knitting and feeling a little overwhelmed by all the different yarns, needles, patterns and terminology out there.
So if you’re wondering how to start knitting, what you need to buy, what kind of yarn to use, or what your first knitting project should be — hopefully this gives you a good place to start!
