How to Knit in Five Easy Steps

Learn about the "Zen of Knitting" over at PsychCentral


Step 1: Pick out some absolutely adorable knitting needles.

Step 2: Knitting is really just two stitches--knit and purl--which are the opposite of one another, like integrals and derivatives in calculus. So to start out we're going to multiply X by the power of your yarn. Got it? Good.

Step 3: Now we're going to learn to "cast on." Make some loopy bits around your needle.

Step 4: Next we will learn to cable. This requires another needle and three or four more pairs of hands.

Step 5: Knit, purl, knit, knit, purl... oh you get the idea. Now cast off!
