I can't be bothered

to be honest. This is probably one of those things that I’ll revisit in years to come, but I’ve got so much going on at the moment that this just isn’t gonna happen.

How to learn how to knit
It made me
Happy
 "Always learning."
How I did it: Asked a friend that knew the basics of knitting to help me get started. I bought an instructional book that came with basic tools and I selected some yarn. Lessons & tips: My advice is to NOT give up and practice, practice, practice. Resources: After getting frustrated with the book, I went online and found a great website. I followed free video instructions from http://www.knittinghelp.com. |

It made me
proud
How I did it: It took me lots of practice, but through I managed to cast on. Casting on was very hard for me- but after buying a better instructional book I realized it was actually very easy. The good thing with knitting is- once you get it, you've got it! It feels like riding a bike, only... with your hands. Read how I did it…

It made me
feel accomplished
How I did it: I sat down with a book, some yarn, and some needles, and worked and worked until I finally mastered the simple techniques. As a left-hander, this was difficult until I finally gave up and worked on learning right-handed. I utilized YouTube extensively as well. Read how I did it…

Learn to Knit
7 months ago
I was always good at crocheting but hopeless at knitting. Had given up for many years. But it always gnawed at my conscience :-) as something I couldn’t do. So gave it another go this year. And I did it!! Made a lovely cabled scarf for myself. All courtsey videos on Youtube.

I'm learning!

I mentioned to my mother that I wanted to learn, and so she got me a little starter kit for Christmas. One of my aunts knits, so when we went up to see relatives for the holidays, she started to teach me. I’m learning, I’m learning…

Starting Off With a Calender.
10 months ago
I bought this daily calender focusing on knitting and figured I’d learn through that. I can crochet, make beaded and wire jewelry, so why not knit? I’d love to make a sweater out of something that isn’t wool, something not from animal hair.

with a baby on the way, I feel it’s about time I learned to knit. I remember trying as a littl girl but I never had the patience. I know the basics, but I’ve never actually knitted anything useful. My baby deserves a basic blanket at the very least!
So difficult!!!

I wish knitting was easier to learn… I’m dedicated to learning how, but my mom, who is an excellent knitter, tries to teach me but lacks the patience to teach me and just when I finally start getting somewhere, she tells me “forget it, you can’t do it”...
Knitting

I learned how to crochet from my mom, but she doesn’t know how to knit. I see a ton of books out there teaching how, but they really don’t seem like they are easy to follow. Maybe a class or find someone that can knit and ask them to show me the basics. I can learn the hard stuff later.
