My First Knitting Set

My First Knitting Set includes yarn, knitting needles, easy to follow instructions, and history. Knitting is fun and easy. There are many colors and kinds of yarn available for knitting. Once you learn you will want to knit all the time! Knitting, or knotting, is an ancient craft, which developed in the deserts of Arabia among the nomadic tribesmen who lived there 3,000 years ago.  Later in history, artisans in Spain, then Italy and France, and eventually in England, became fascinated with this kind of fabric weaving.  Knitters soon formed themselves, under Church patronage, into organized guilds.
