I have a problem following directions and I want to learn how to knit. I have a tad of autism and want to learn. Sometimes things are a little harder to learn. Thanks for any advice.

I know how to knit i just dont know how to start the line. But maybe you could try watching a video on knitting that way you could do it at the same time. But basically you have 2 needles, one needle will have the loops on the other will start completely clear, with the empty needle, u put it inside the back of one loop (push up from the bottom of the loop) and make an X with the needles, you then take the wool and wrap it around the back of the second needle and bring it through the middle of both. you then need to put the second needle (the one you just wrapped the wool around) under the top loop of the first needle, you bring the loop up and off the first needle and put it on to the second needle. You then keep going. Its very hard to explain so im sure watching a video would make much more sense.

i think hand stitching is a real tallent and looks far harder then knitting but im guessing there basically the same thing so if you can do one im sure you can do the other :)
