Knitting is the process of making a continuous fabric from a length of yarn or thread by passing loops through other loops with the aid of eyeless needles. The earliest-known knitted work was discovered in Arabia and dates from the 7th century AD. It is thought that knitting was introduced to the Middle East and Europe by soldiers, sailors, and traders from the East.

Knitting bags are so much in demand right now, because of the hundreds of folks taking up knitting for the first time. Knitting bags are needed by every knitter, in order to make her knitting projects portable -- and what serious knitter doesn't want portable projects?

Knitting may be done by hand or by machine. By hand, there are numerous styles and methods. Some of these produce an entirely different end-product; some produce very similar results. Flat knitting, which is done on two straight needles, produces a length of cloth, while circular knitting, which is done on circular or double-pointed needles, produces a seamless tube.

Knitting can ... be shaped by increasing, or adding stitches. Just as with decreasing, there are various ways to increase such as knitting into the front and back of a stitch and yarn over (yo), which you'll learn about here.

Yarn for hand-knitting is usually sold as balls or skeins (hanks), although it may ... be wound on spools or cones. Skeins and balls are generally sold with a yarn-band, a label that describes the yarn's weight, length, dye lot, fiber content, washing instructions, suggested needle size, likely gauge, etc. It is common practice to save the yarn band for future reference, especially if additional skeins must be purchased. Knitters generally ensure that the yarn for a project comes from a single dye lot. The dye lot specifies a group of skeins that were dyed together and thus have precisely the same color; skeins from different dye-lots, even if very similar in color, are usually slightly different and may produce a visible stripe when knitted together. If a knitter buys insufficient yarn of a single dye lot to complete a project, additional skeins of the same dye lot can sometimes be obtained from other yarn stores or online.

When you are knitting a project that uses a stitch pattern and then decrease or increase, your rows will no longer begin or end in the same way. You will need to keep to pattern and here's how you do it.
