no and it sounds gross hahaha
Get a ball of cotton yarn in a light, solid colorA pair of size 7 aluminum needlesThe shorter ones are fine, no need for long ones, double pointed or circularsThe Boye brand is found everywhere and will work fineThe book 'I can't believe I'm knitting!' has the best photos I've ever seen in a learn to knit bookAny book you find will help thoughNow you will have what you need to make a washclothUsable, cheap, simple and relatively quick- a good first projectWhen you learn casting on, a few stitches and binding off, you will have a chunk of knitted fabric- it doesn't need to be a perfect uniform square to wash dishes, you know? Although cotton is not elastic and therefore not the easiest of all yarns to work with, if you need to rip up your work, it will be easy to doFancy yarns and dark yarns make stitches harder to see, so hold off on those while learningDifferent needles feel different, but it's impossible to know which you prefer before you have experienceOnce you learn the basics, you can start experimenting with different needles, yarns, and of course techniquesVisit a local yarn shop if you have one! They are wonderful! (Although I do suggest you buy your very first supplies from a big box store as it's cheaper, once you buy an aritsan yarn or expensive needle, you will appreciate it that much more.) Oh! Also buy a tapestry needleIt is a big, blunt ended needle for weaving the ends of yarn back into your workAbout as essential in a project as the knitting needlesHappy crafting!
