Hi Narmadha,

I can't say where you can learn knitting in Melbourne... but you can learn online from this site. It also has videos. KnittingHelp.com | Learn How to Knit. If you have already found a library do check out some books that will help you with basic techniques. That's how I learnt. Also most wool shop owners will be glad to help you out with projects... don't hesitate to ask them.

Smile Re: want to learn Sweater Knitting-pls help

Hello,

I also became interested in knitting recently & i found many helpful tutorials on YouTube.com . The great thing about viewing tutorials at YouTube is that you can actually watch the steps for knitting & then also ask the person who put the tutorial on YouTuibe questions. I found it very helpful.

Hope that helps.

Take Care,
Aruneh

Default Re: want to learn Sweater Knitting-pls help

Hi
I was also looking to knit a sweater. its a medium size one but cant understand how many stiches to put in the beginning. i saw some video on you tube and tried it. it said first weave 4 inches and measure how many stiches come in for an inch and
stiches=measurement in inches * stiches/inch
mine is coming upto 8 that means
40* 8 = 320
In most of teh blogs they say 4 stiches per inch but why am i getting like this.
please help

Hai Narmadha,I am also living near to city. The website given by latha is wonderful. Further, if u want to learn directly here,better you go to the nearest community centre. They organise knitting classes . This cost comes low with compare to anywhere here. After you learn knitting, u can find many knitting books in library. They contains many varieties of dresses. Try it.

Hi sirila29,

Before you start a sweater you need to do something called a guage which is a square using either the stockinette st or the sts from your pattern. usually this is done as a 4 x 4 square. You then measure how many sts it takes to make 1 inch. this is your gauge.
If the pattern/book says 4 sts per inch and your gauge comes to 8 it means you are using the wrong yarn/needle. You need to change to a bigger needle size using the same yarn or a bigger yarn which gives you 4 sts per inch

Kind Regards
Vidya
