Interested in starting a new hobby? If you’re reading this, then knitting is something you’re interested in trying. Congratulations! Knitting is a rewarding hobby. It’s also been shown to reduce stress and improve memory. And it’s a great way to decorate your home and create personal gifts. Anxious to get started? Here are the steps to take.

If you’re struggling, consider signing up for a knitting class. Knitting is often a social activity and classes are offered in most communities. Check with your local tailor, yarn or craft store, or your community education center. Grab a friend and bring someone with you to learn.
