Now what?

[Robyn806]

Hi everyone,

I am new to this board and have been lurking around and reading some posts for a little while. I just learned how to knit a little less than a month ago. And now I have some questions.

What should I learn to do next? I learned to cast on/cast off and I learned the knit and purl stitch. So what is next? I am thinking increases and decreases, but then what is after that?

I really want to do some projects, my kids want me to make them hats, and I have seen some patterns but they are all knit in the round, should I go buy circular needles (I have 5mm bamboo straight needles), or is there a hat pattern that I can knit with the ones I have?

Thanks for answering my newB questions.
Robyn
