Skill Set: Beginning Knitting presents everything you need to know to start knitting - and nothing you don't need. Kay and Ann have divided the basics into 9 short lessons, and we have done our best to keep each lesson simple. It may seem surprising, but with the elementary techniques presented in Lesson 1, you can knit for a lifetime. Or you can work your way through Lesson 9, then keep going and explore for the rest of your life. There's always something interesting to discover whenever you decide you are ready for a new challenge.
