I want to study knitting. Do any of the websites offer courses on this? I have seen many Cd's and DVD's that assure to teach knitting. Are they worth?

i have found that the kits for kids are great to learn a new craft. they teach the very basics and then you can go on to learn more. do you have a craft store like a michael's or something? check it out for a kid's kit... i don't knit but i intend to learn one day and i'm going to get a kit i saw at one of the stores... 'i learned to knit' or something to that effect... also, some craft stores offer courses... which are cool because you get a hands on experience. good luck with your new hobby! :-D

now, you might think i'm nuts, but really, when you get a kid's kit, you're getting the real basics and it's in such a way that you can understand it easily, because they're talking to kids... ya know what i mean? it's not that us adults are stupid, but when it comes to learning a new craft like needlework or even quilting, go for a kids kit - here's one that i would buy... simple... got everything you need to make a little project... in fact, i think i might order this one! this website is great too for everything ... i just love it. http://tinyurl.com/2xy6r6 also, i just found a site - http://www.learntoknit.com and wow, it's got alot of cool stuff on there! now go knit something! hahaha! :-D lemme know how you get on!
