To see something completed that you have worked so hard on is very rewarding, an achievement and very satisfying.

Make a sweater for nothing using recycled yarn, find free knitting patterns on the Internet. Visit a library for those knitting books with endless knitting patterns and how to knit instructions.

365 Knitting Stitches Calendar “A great gift for yourself or a knitting friend. For the first time, knitters can have hundreds of stitches in a perpetual calendar format. A different stitch for every day of the year makes this clever calendar design a valuable addition to every knitter’s sample collection in a convenient table top size. Size is 5 inches by 6 inches, 384 pages with large spiral binding and easel back. * Instructions are easy to advanced and can be used year after year * Each day shows a beautiful swatch in a full-color * A close-up photo with the name of the stitch and the knitting procedure to make it * Stitches range from simple knit and purl to ribs, cables, laces and dozens of textured patterns * The first 7 pages include abbreviations and special instructions to make the patterns”

All knitting instructions use two basic knitting stitches, the knit stitch and the purl stitch once you know these two stitches you will be able to follow most knitting instructions which are just variations and combinations of those two knitting stitches used in various ways.
