Hey bloggers...It's Emilee here from Sweetly Made (Just for you).
I am excited to announce another new series called, "Sweet Tutorials."
Are you excited yet???
I sure am because I decided to show you the how tos of knitting, crafts and whatever else I do. I love it! So, for "Sweet Tutorials" #1 I'm going to show you how to cast on.
Long story short...I started knitting in 2005. I decided that I needed to know how to knit Christmas stockings since my grandmother was getting older. She made all of our Christmas stockings growing up so I knew I needed to take on the task to carry on the fun tradition. I asked and she was delighted. My first stocking was for my niece Emma and I made four more that year. Now, I get to make stockings for random strangers (whom some have become my friends) and of course family. It has been a fun hobby and I'm delighted to show you how to knit as well. So here you go...
Step #1-You will need some yarn and some knitting needles. I normally use Red heart yarn and a size 8 US 5.0 mm. However, there are some really awesome knitting stores (especially in Utah) where you can buy some softer yarn.
