We are the Kniterati

The Kniterati: A group of excited knitters of all levels and abilities coming together to knit. And have fun. Because knitting should be fun!

What to expect: Postings from members of the Kniterati showing off completed projects, sharing patterns and helpful tips, etc. Jenn (Kniterati guru and founder) plans to post a semi-regular newsletter of sorts. We'll see how it manifests itself.

Why "The Kniterati"?: Jenn (Lame Name Creator) was stuck on what to call this site. She wanted a place for everyone to come and ask questions and show off their knitting (and also to involve knitters who aren't in the area), but first she had to have a name. So she turned to her pal, Secret Knitter, and he came up with Kniterati. Get it? We're like the literati, but for knitting! (Nerdy, but charming).

Anyway, Jenn (Knitting Nerd) loves the blogosphere, so thus emerged The Knitterati Blogger site. Excellent, she said. Now to get people a'posting!

First, I need to purchase my own knitting needles instead of borrowing my roommate's. What do you recommend for a beginning knitter?

I began with plastic. Got a tube that had US 10s-17 in it for $10. I don't know what's "right". I think it depends on what you find most comfortable.
