How hard is it to learn how to knit?
I bought one of those kits that come with yarn, needles, and instructions, but the instructions don’t seem very clear. I only looked at them for a minute, though, before tossing them aside. Has anybody else tried one of those kits, and can I really learn to knit that way?
It’s not that difficult to learn, but some people do well with written instructions and illustrations, and others learn better by watching someone else. So if you find the instructions difficult to follow, try this web site that has videos:
