What knitting needles to buy if you are just starting to knit? What knitting tools and accessories does a beginner need? Is it worth spending a lot of money on them right away or is it better to start with simpler and cheaper options? My name is Zhenya and in this video I discuss one of the most controversial issues in the world of knitting - the choice of tools. I analyze my successful and unsuccessful purchases made since I started knitting. I share my opinion on what should definitely be in a beginner knitter's starter pack, and what can be postponed. I also give my assessment of knitting needles from the following manufacturers: ADDI, KnitPro, ChiaoGoo, Lantern Moon and Tulip. I sincerely recommend some, and some I do not. I hope this video will help beginners avoid my mistakes and buy those tools that will make knitting truly fun.
