It was my first attempt at blogging...then the coupon craze took over :)<BR/><BR/>Knitting saved me when I was on bedrest with my second baby...I am basically self taught...so here are some thoughts :)<BR/><BR/>There is a book called Stitch and Bitch that is INCREDIBLE. I have a very difficult time learnging thins like knitting from books...but this one was great...once I figure out the basics it was even easier to move forward. There are several SnB books...but the original is the most helpful I think.<BR/><BR/>There is a website www.knittinghelp.com that is also incredible. They have video snips of someone actually knitting...so you can see their hands work...as they explain what they are doing. They have instructions for everything from the very basic beginings (knit, purl, cast on/off) to complicated things like Faire Isle. They also have free patterns!<BR/><BR/>Grab a pair of size 7 or 8 needles and some super cheap-o clearance yarn to learn with..that is easiest!<BR/><BR/>Good luck...let me know if there is anything I can do to help!<BR/><BR/>jennJennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661888908727590328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6191423122189627450.post-12245898428259418782008-10-04T22:37:00.000-05:002008-10-04T22:37:00.000-05:00I wish I knew HOW to knit!
