I used a DVD case to wind my yarn around because the width of the case matched how long I wanted my fringe to be. You can also use cardboard & cut it to match the length you desire.

Step 2 of 14
Wrap yarn around DVD one time for each piece of fringe you need. Shhh don't tell hubby I used his Clint Eastwood movie!  He already got upset when I used his coffee mug as a guide for a mug cozy.

I started out the same way & now 3yrs later I am amazed at what I can do now. I took two knitting classes at my local yarn store when I first started & I think that is what helped me most. I still stop into the yarn store & ask questions. Another great thing besides snapguide is youtube & New Stitch A Day's website. Have fun with your knitting & you'll be amazed at what you'll be able to do. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

I'm very new to knitting. I can't do much more than the single strand right now but one day I'll be able to surprise myself.

Thanks! I'm def looking @ redoing the green in a lighter color & will probably make guides for both. Glad u liked it. The pink is a free pattern on Ravelry called Pumpkin Spice.
