Of course, nothing beats being taught skills by a real person, but it seems like not many know crafting skills these days.

• The first thing you want to do is making a slip knot. This should be pretty easy and is explained, with pictures, on this site.

• The next step is casting on. You basically make a foundation of stitches for your knitting project.
  I’ve seen many different ways of casting on and here is the method I usually use. It may look a bit complicated, but don’t give up.
  Here is another method that seem to be common and a list of 5 different ways can be found here.

• When you have made the desired number of stitches you are ready for the knitting itself. As you are a newbie to knitting, all you need to know right now is the “knit stitch” (or garter stitch). I like the explanation on this site.

Hope this post was a bit helpful for all the upcoming knitters. Get ready to get hooked, because knitting can be very addictive
What is cooler than creating something yourself!?!

Thanks to my mate Tord for letting me use his photo of my knitting.
