I learned by watching other kintters then buying "Teach yourself to kint visually" but that's geared towards right handed kintters... have you tried a class at your local craft supply store?Consecutive Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230914050925435365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13469906.post-80608779422890046602008-04-04T17:31:00.000-04:002008-04-04T17:31:00.000-04:00I found videos very helpful too.

I'm still not a fancy knitter, but I feel more confident with the basics now. <BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/learn-to-knit" REL="nofollow">These videos</A> helped the most, and they've got one set for continental style and one set for American style knitting. I had NO luck learning until I switched styles. My m-i-l was teaching me American and I just could NOT get it. Continental worked better for me!<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps! It's SO worth the work. :)Elephantschildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14610471467736150461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13469906.post-74130790182400665802008-04-03T12:25:00.000-04:002008-04-03T12:25:00.000-04:00I've tried crocheting with no success, although it...I've tried crocheting with no success, although it was a long time ago, and it was from my mother, who had a hard time teaching me because I am left-handed. Perhaps if I tried it out of a book that showed the left-handed way, I might do better.Barb the Evil Geniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635449477605703171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13469906.post-67758568869237941262008-04-03T07:48:00.000-04:002008-04-03T07:48:00.000-04:00I learned to crochet first... but that's just me. ...I learned to crochet first... but that's just me. I'm not that skilled of a knitter, but it was easier for me to pick up once I had mastered working one loop at a time. Just a thought.Consecutive Oddshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10230914050925435365noreply@blogger.com
