I used this knitting kit to get myself back into the hobby now that I have more time on my hands — it comes with everything a beginner needs to get started

• We Are Knitters sells hundreds of knitting kits, complete with wool, knitting needles, and instructions, starting at $36.
• Even though I know how to knit, I ordered a blanket kit ($98) to test out the quality of the materials and see whether or not creating professional-looking blankets was as easy as the company promised. 
• After a bit of practice, I found knitting to be relaxing and fun, and I can't wait to order more wool in different colors to start a new blanket.

I've known how to knit since I was in my early teens, but it hasn't been a consistent hobby. I'll pick it up for a few months, then forget about it again for a year or so before picking it up again. I usually have to give myself a little refresher of the stitches before diving into easy projects like blankets or beanies.

We Are Knitters sells knitting supplies (like needles, wool, and yarn) as well as pre-made knitting kits that are rated from beginner to advanced. The kits start at $36 come with everything you need to get started, including materials, needles, instructions (called "patterns"), and even a small tag to sew onto the final product. See the rest of the story at Business Insider
