Knitting, the art of wrapping string around sticks to create clloth. It may seem simple, but knitting is EXTREMELY fun. below are the basics of knitting casting on: 1st, let the yarn drape over you knitting needles. 2nd, you should insert you thumb and forefinger into the yarn and pul back. It will look like the picture top left. 3rd, do you see how there are four strands? the first 2 form a loop around the thumb. the second 2 just go around your index finger. You are going to go UNDER the 1st strand, and OVER the 2nd and third strands, ignore the last strand. Now, going the other way, towards your thumb, go under the 3rd strand. now, do you see the loop formed around your thumb? Take the 3rd strand that you "grabbed", and put it through the loop around you thumb. After: you have just formed your first two loops, that you will use to knit with. When you keep casting on, you will only get one loop. IT IS SUPPOSED TO DO THAT. Knitting STEP 1: hold the needle with all the stitches on it in your left hand. (If you are lefthanded it will not matter if you use your left hand or your right hand.) Hold the empty needle in the hand NOT holding the needle fullof stitches. STEP 2: slide the empty needle(we will call this needle #1) under the loop on the needle full of stitches(this is needle #2). make sure needle #2 is under needle #1 and both of them are inside the first stitch. Now wrap the long end of the yarn around needle #2. this next bit is tricky. the part you wrappped around needle #2, twist it down and under the first stitch. now slide the stitch off needle #1. AFTER: you have now completed your first stitch. Congratulations!!!! so from the still one person team creating Quarunkl, Squooshle!!!!
