One of my favorite things about hosting TV's "Knitty Gritty" was the ability to teach the masses how to knit, all in the comfort of their own living rooms. Thanks to the internet, I can still meet up with stitchers – on demand – through simple how-to videos.

Whether you've never knit a stitch, or just need a little refresher, I'm here for you. So grab your needles and click "play" to learn the basics of casting-on, the knit stitch, the purl stitch, and binding-off; everything you need to know to make your very first project!
