How to learn to knit and crochet
How I did it: It didn't really take me three years to do this, just three years to get myself to sit down and learn some of the stitches. Also my skills are very much a work in process. Currently I've got three projects going on as gifts for Christmas. Hopefully I can finish them before then!
Lessons & tips: If there is something that you want to do but it seems you always put it off, it helps to invest in the materials and the time to do it. I broke down and bought an actual instruction manual, yarn, needles and hooks, and made time in my schedule to do it with no distractions.
Resources: Encyclopedia to Crocheting, Stitch'n Bitch, and Simple Crochet had both the technical skills shown and also served as motivation with their many pictures on the patterns and projects that could be done.
