Tips For The Beginning Knitter
Invest in good needles. It may seem overwhelming with all the different types of needles available but finding the right type of needle can really go a long way to becoming a better knitter. Needles come in a wide variety of types – plastic, bamboo, exotic wood, metal and even glass. There is no “right” type of needle, only what works best for you. Some knitters prefer wood because it grips the yarn well and is durable while others prefer how slick metal needles are. Many knitters have a wide range of needles in various sizes to accommodate different sizes of yarn.
Experiment with yarn. Yarn comes in such a wide variety of colors and types 
that it seems daunting to a beginning knitter. Each type of yarn has a purpose; heavy cottons are often best used for durable projects such as kitchen towels or wash cloths while delicate cottons are used for garments. Just as with needles, there’s no “right” type of yarn for everything, but some yarns are better suited for specific types of projects. That doesn’t mean you can’t experiment and try out the different types though, sometimes the results can be very rewarding. Picking the best type of yarn for your project is something that comes with experience, and the only way to get that is to keep trying.
Be patient. Knitting is a hobby that takes experience and patience to master. Even expert knitters make mistakes, and the best way to deal with them is to acknowledge it and correct it. When faced with unfamiliar or difficult techniques knitting classes or other resources can help.
