Come knit with me, lets knit, lets knit away!

Lets.... Cast on...

Casting on is simply the way that you get stitches onto the needle so that you can start knitting. First of all you will need to make a loop to knit on. To do this you will need to make a Slip-knot on one of your needles.

Making a slip-knot
To do this you will need;

1. Wool [yarn ball]
2. Two needles [The size of the needle depends on the size of your wool - should say on the wrapper]

Okie dokie, the slip-knot...

• To make a slip knot, hold the yarn so that the tail of the yarn ball is hanging in front of your hand.
• Wrap the yarn loosely behind your first two fingers of your left hand. The yarn should loop all the way around your fingers clockwise.
• Take the part of the yarn that's attached to the ball and slip it back under the loop behind your fingers
• Then slide this off your fingers, pull to tighten slightly, and slip it over the needle.

....or see video below, cause that description is pretty confusing!
