Tin can knits

I've reread my post on intentions and started to feel bad about myself. There I was complaining about the exhaustive excess of information one finds on the internet and stated that my intention was to order things a little bit by keeping track of what I've found really useful. Instead I've been adding to the nonsense with my own chatter.

So here is my promise being delivered, no chitchat just a really good link.

One of the best resources for beginners I've found is the Tin Can Knits. These ladies really rock. They have done an amazing job with their Simple Collection. It includes basic instructions, blog posts, video tutorials and simple patterns designed just for the absolute beginner. It's for free and much, much better than other resources you pay for.

Their designs are simple (just like promised) but still really beautiful. You just have to agree that when well done simplicity suits all tastes and never goes out of fashion.

But the best thing is that they have instructions for literally every size, from baby to giant guy, and you just have to look at the photos to see that these have been tested ;).

Want an idea for a first project? Try wheat and malt. A second project? Learn to knit in the round with oats and barley. And so on. Don't forget to take a look at the tutorials. They give detailed step-by-step information to add to their very well designed patterns which are already very detailed. These are clearly done with the absolute beginner in mind.
