U-Bild: Learn to knit
Perhaps knitting is something you used to enjoy, but it’s been so long that you’ve forgotten how. Or maybe you’d like to learn, but you don’t know how to get started. The truth is that it doesn’t really matter why you don’t knit, because it’s never too late to learn (or re-learn).
A 33-page guidebook, “Learn to Knit in Just One Day,” makes it easy to master this classic needlecraft. The book features 12 simple lessons that will teach you the fundamentals in just a few hours. All the basics are covered – from casting on, the stitches, correcting mistakes and binding off to increasing and decreasing, ribbing, joining yarn, gauging and measuring, reading patterns and more.
Five simple practice projects will help you gain confidence once you’re comfortable with the basic techniques. With practice, you’ll quickly acquire a fun, practical and rewarding skill that will last a lifetime.
The practice projects include the afghan shown here, plus a hat and scarf, a baby bonnet and sweater, a boat-neck sweater and a striped sweater.
The “Learn to Knit in Just One Day” guidebook, No. AN1210, is $7.95. You can find 24 other lovely knitting projects in a 41-page guidebook, “The Big Book of Quick Knit Afghans,” No. LA3137, a 41-page guidebook available for $9.95. Include $4 per order (not per item) for postage and handling and allow about two weeks for delivery.
