I learn to knit from a book ...not that one ...I managed it...once you get your basic's down you can do all the other fancy stitches...I can knit but I am slow at it...I would rather crochet...it grows faster...check this out ...found it on Google . http://www.learntoknit.com/basics.php3 Brenda

Knitting is always easier to learn if you have someone to show you what is going on - doesn't that work for everything? So this site has a whole heap of video clips of how to cast on, knit, purl and so on. Most helpful. http://www.knittinghelp.com/ If you get stuck - give us a yell! love and kisses, Jan

I want to learn to knit too. A friend said she would teach me, but we just can't seem to find a good time together. I signed up for free classes at a new yarn shop in a neighboring town. They said the middle of this month but I haven't heard the date from them yet. Beginner classes will be free if I buy supplies from them. Sounded like a good deal to me.  I've been looking at the knitting help site but I'm still not sure if I'll be able to do it.

Those sites are good. I wish I would have had them when I was teaching myself to knit. My mom used to knit but I could not learn from her because I am left handed. I taught myself from a Woman Day magazine. Than I taught myself to crochet from that magazine too. I did have help from my mom when I had problems. I started crocheting a baby blanket last night. It has been years since I have done any crocheting.
