If you can read and follow directions, once you learn the basic steps and what everything means (and there are knitting glossaries online to guide you), it's really quite fun!Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-83640977170029547982011-01-20T07:19:34.528-06:002011-01-20T07:19:34.528-06:00I wish I had the patience to knit! :-)I wish I had the patience to knit! :-)Mayra Calvanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01444333264952371471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-9183945911167995082011-01-19T23:57:32.289-06:002011-01-19T23:57:32.289-06:00I've never known how to knit or crochet...I ba...I've never known how to knit or crochet...I barely sew.

And if you're doing a pattern that requires the same stitch in repeat (such as garter - all knit - or stockinette - knit on one side, purl on the other)and don't have to consult the pattern for change all the time, it can really free the mind. I have worked out many a plot issue while knitting a stickinette cap!Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-17475932122524336802011-01-19T18:41:35.212-06:002011-01-19T18:41:35.212-06:00Rebecca, I like to crochet, too,but I love the way...Rebecca, I like to crochet, too,but I love the way knit stuff looks, especially for garments.

Walmart also sells a learn to knit kit that's pretty cool - it comes with some of the basic supplies you need to start out plus an instruction booklet. You just need to provide the yarn. Target used to sell kits that came with yarn - you might be able to find those online, too.Margay Leah Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15490126898758440254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1969558921964931828.post-14798438650990390462011-01-19T18:37:34.925-06:002011-01-19T18:37:34.925-06:00Admin, I'm going to try!
