Starting a new hobby


It’s exciting! You get to learn something new, and get a bunch of interesting gadgets that will clutter up your dresser and fill your drawers! Wait… That doesn’t sound so great, right? But it’s a trap I see far too many people fall into.


When you’re learning how to knit for the first time, there are some obvious things you need, like yarn and knitting needles, some things that might be a little less obvious, and some tempting things you don’t need — at least not in the beginning.

Too long didn't watch? That's okay! I've got it all in a list for you. Grab it through the form below.
