Knitting

Turn a ball of yarn into scarves, hats, and blankets with two needles.

Knitting is portable, repetitive in a soothing way, and produces things you can actually use or give away. Most people learn the basic knit and purl stitch in an afternoon from a video and build from there.

Getting started

Learn on a cheap, light-colored acrylic yarn so it is easy to see your stitches.
