So you want to Knit/Crochet?

Start Here
Join Ravelry—it’s a fantastic resource for finding patterns, designers, yarn shops, and so much more. Before starting a project, you’ll want to choose a pattern, which is essentially a recipe for the item (or items) you want to make. A pattern tells you everything you need, including:
- Yarn
- Needles or hooks
- Notions 
- Step-by-step instructions

Tool Kit Must-Haves
- Pencil Case or Tin (to keep everything together)
- Knitting Gauge Ruler 
- Tape Measure 
- Stitch Markers 
- Cable Needles 
- Darning Needles 
- Stitch Holder 
- Invest in good quality knitting needles & crochet hooks
- Pencil
- Little Notebook or Sticky Notes
