Hey knitblr, I need y’alls help.
An acquaintance of mine wants to learn how to knit, but has no clue where to start at. I’ve been knitting for close to a decade now, and I taught myself in a pretty unconventional way, so I’m struggling to come up with a good first few projects to really help develop the foundational skills (knit, purl, increasing stitches, and decreasing stitches). I think a garter-stitch scarf in a bulky or super bulky weight would be great for getting comfortable with the knit stitch, while also being quicker to work up than a worsted weight, but I am out of ideas for after that.
If you can share your experience when you were learning how to knit, as well as some project recommendations, I’d greatly appreciate it. Video tutorials and other for key techniques are also appreciated!
