Start Small

You may have seen a lot of social media posts about oversized chunky knitting lately. I’ve certainly been tagged in a few!  

These huge arm sized Knits look really cool and lots of fun, but for a beginner, I like to start small.  A bit like my new kitten Earl. So cute!!

Handwarmers are the perfect project to get you knitting. They are easy to knit - worked flat, not in the round - and you will learn all the essential knitting skills. 

Learn to cast on, knit, purl and cast off.  From there you will be ready to tackle any project.  

The beauty of a small project is it is quick to finish so you won't have time to be bored. Also these little projects are very portable - just pop it in your bag and you can knit wherever you like - the bus, the beach... where ever!

The WhatJaneKnits handwarmer kits are such a great project currently available in two beautiful colours - dark blue/green teal and vivid fushia.  They also make a great gift for guys and girls.

Superior quality 100% Australian merino yarn. 

The handwarmer project kit comes complete with beautiful yarn, knitting needles, pattern, sewing needle and resealable project bag.

There are video tutorials and help from me online.
