Learning how to Knit!

Dot's Knit Samples

Courtesy of Andrew Layton, I was taught how to knit today! Here are my step by step instructions:

Step 1: Cross right needle under left needle stitch (towards the right). 

Step 2: Tuck wool bundle line under right needle (towards the left).

Step 3: Pull wool bundle line over right needle (towards the right).

Step 4: Push left needle stitch up over right needle.

(End of Step 4)

Step 5: Stitch is transferred onto right needle. Repeat process.

It was fantastic to finally learn this technique of sewing as I have always wanted to know how to do it. I will carry on and as they say - Practice makes perfect! I found I did my stitches very tightly at first and dropped a couple of stitches, causing a few holes in my sample.
