Knitting Art - Materials and Equipment

Materials for knitting are cheap, easy to come by and offered in a wide selection. Needles come in all kinds of widths and can be bought in metal and wood. The choice in yarn is enormous; from thin to thick, silk, wool and/or synthetics and it is available in a rainbow of colors.

Free patterns can be found abundantly online and there are plenty of workshops, knitting instructions, different knitting stitches, books and magazines, classes, lessons and videos to get you started or take you to the next level.

Your project doesn't always has to be a large one; some smaller items lend themselves very well for adorning and sprucing up garments or accessories, but can also be used in a stand alone manner like wall art.

No matter how you apply this art, one thing is for sure; this is one hobby that teaches you how to practice patience! Grin.
