Welcome to the grand start of your Knitting Adventure!
Episode Zero of the Continental Knitting tutorial series is here and it's time to go shopping. In this episode, we will cover all the tools of the trade you will need to get you started as well as those tools that you just don't need yet, or at all. I want you to be able to afford to knit so I've shared some tips to cut costs at every corner possible.
