Advice on Learning To Knit

[Arielles]

I really want to learn how to knit... just something that I've always thought was really neat.

Does anyone have any good advice on some good books or websites to help me get started??? Or just any good advice about it general???

I would love it if someone could help me! Thanks!

Do you know anyone who could knit who could teach you? It really is quite easy to pick up.


My other suggestion is that you go to a yarn shop and ask the ladies there to show you. They are always ready to help out with queries and if they are not too busy I am sure they would be happy to help. Maybe you could browse the craft magazines as some may have instructions illustrated that you could follow.


Let us know how you get on.

Thanks for the advice... I don't know anyone that knits... but going to a yarn shop sounds like an awesome idea!

May I just throw in a suggestion for any left-handers who want to learn to knit, and can only find right-handed teachers - try using a mirror, so the left-hander can reverse movements?

My family tried to teach me for ages...until my auntie came up with that idea!!

God bless

Good luck with learning to knit...may you find it very rewarding! xxx
