Do you want to learn how to knit but don’t know where to start?

There are plenty of videos on how to start knitting on the Internet, but it can be quite overwhelming. Where do you start?

We are all different and learn in different ways, personally, I learned to knit (again) via knitting kits.

Another very good way to help you start knitting is through online classes, and I have selected five different classes that will give you the basics of knitting.
