As I embark on my knitting journey this year, I thought I’d share a roundup of links to some knitting Youtube videos that I’ve found really helpful. There are so many online resources out there and it can be overwhelming at first, so I hope this post helps anyone who may be thinking of learning how to knit but doesn’t know where to begin!

Knitting Websites & Inspiration
- Sheep and Stitch – this is easily one of my favourite websites for knitting inspiration. It’s modern, bright and colourful! Sheep and Stitch also have an awesome Youtube channel with a how to knit series along with some simple step-by-step pattern tutorials.
- Delia Creates – this is a general craft website that’s got a little bit of something for everyone. Although the focus is on crochet rather than knitting, I still love seeing the amazing woolly designs and I’m wondering if learning how to crochet is next on the list!
- Little Things Blogged – this is a crochet and knitting website that has lots of fun articles showcasing current projects and inspiration around the web. Be prepared to bookmark lots of future crochet and knitting projects!
- The Green Horn Knitter – all of the previous websites are more commercial and have shops linked to them but this is a more traditional blog, which is what I really like about it. There are still lots of tutorials, free patterns and posts about knitting projects to satisfy knitters!
