When you first get started as a knitter, it can be tempting to go wild in the knitting store, buying all sorts of fancy yarn and beautiful needles.
It makes sense, however, to buy only a few supplies when you're first getting started knitting. First, you don't know if you'll like knitting (sad though that is for me to admit), so, second, you shouldn't spend a lot of money on things you don't know if you'll use.
The good news is, you don't need a lot of expensive supplies or fancy yarns to make your first knitting projects. In fact, you could probably buy everything you need at a discount store and not even visit a crafts store or yarn shop (though you will find higher-quality items at a crafts store).
So, what do you need to get started?
- Yarn
- Needles
- A pair of scissors
- A sewing needle
- A crochet hook
Let's take a quick look at each of these items.
