"They All Laughed When I Said I Was Going To Learn To Knit... But Their Laughter Turned To Amazement When They Saw The Beautiful Patterns and Garments I Created!"
There's No Simple Guide
I searched and searched for a good simple guide to knitting.
You know, a booklet that was low on fluff and just tells me what I need to know about knitting.
I don't need a thousand patterns if I don't even know how to knit yet.
I just want to know...what are the basic tips that people who have been knitting for years know that would make my knitting skills better?
Just teach me those tips, was what I was thinking.
I couldn't find such a booklet.
So I compiled all my research, and had one created!
