Also, you may learn better with words than with just visuals. My best friend learned to knit with me just *talking* her through it while I drove (we're very verbal that way!)<br><br> Tara<br><br><br>Blonde Chicken Boutique<br>Local, Sustainable, Colorful Yarn<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>________________________________ Yep, it's super-hard to learn from just watching, without any instruction!

I'm always zoning out, enjoying the knitting itself...probably why I rarely knit from a pattern (of course, zoning out while designing is not helpful either!)<br><br> Tara<br><br><br>Blonde Chicken Boutique<br>Local, Sustainable, Colorful Yarn<br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>________________________________ Stacey, I know what you mean!

It was a beginner class, so not only did the teacher help us, but we could also help each other. For me, the most difficult part about knitting is staying in pattern. I just get into a zone and knit away until I realize my mistake...thank goodness it's easy to undo! The way I learned how to knit was by taking a class at my LYS.
