LEarn to KNit

Knitting not only stimulates mental activity but also builds muscle memory — both of which keep your mind and body sharp! Best of all, at the end of your efforts you’ll have a beautiful piece of work to show off or wear!

Learning how to knit the Switch, Twigg, or Regular stitch may initially require some concentration. But later, whether knitting alone or in company, you’ll soon find that you can talk or watch TV without missing a beat (or dropping a stitch).

Whether you are totally new to knitting or learning a new stitch, I hope the Beginner videos and illustrations here will launch your love of knitting. They are totally free of charge and with no commitment required — just my gift to you, given in the spirit of gratitude for what my mum gave to me.

If you are completely new to the craft, it might be best to start with regular knitting and proceed from there.
