If you'd like to join me next week for a Knit With Hannah jargon busting ride, we'll do some jargon busting- you know, figuring out all that secret knitting code.
Sign up to my email list- on the side bar- and starting next Tuesday (August 22nd 2017) I'll be sending links to a free video series, finishing with a video for you to learn all the techniques that a beginner needs to know.

, once you're all set up, to knit along with the jargon
Here's what you need to prepare yourself to join me in busting that jargon.
To allow yourself to see what you're doing clearly and have a comfortable hold, I suggest you use a medium weight yarn, with medium thickness needles:
Left-over Aran/Worsted yarn... 20-25g, or new ball 50g
5mm needles
With this video cast on 29 stitches:

Begin with a knit row:
repeat these last two rows twice again, you will have 'knitted' 6 rows altogether... alternating between knit and purl rows.
Join me next week, for our jargon busting knit-along. :)
