Learn to Knit.
By how mistakes are made and then how to fix them.
- Learn at your own pace.
- Access around the clock.
- Learn to "read" your knitting.


Learn how to understand the fabric you are knitting
When someone states "I want to learn how to knit.", they almost always also state, "I want to fix my own knitting mistakes."
If the repair shown is beyond what you think you can repair, then you need help in understanding the knitted fabric.
It does not matter what method of knitting you use to create a knitted fabric. You can carry the yarn in your right hand or your left hand, work in the front or back of a stitch, call it German or Peruvian knitting, or use a knitting machine.

These are questions, comments, needs, and concerns often made by someone wanting to sign up for beginning knitting lessons.
Because the lessons were based in a yarn shop, yarn and needle selection were generally done at sign up or immediately before the first lesson.
When I started teaching knitting lessons for a local yarn shop, I was given an outline used by the previous teacher and was instructed to follow her general course outline. The following six lessons are a result of her notes as well as fifteen years of teaching beginners how to knit.
