i learned how to crochet from a roommate and some upperclassmen when i was in college. i loved making basic blankets and taught a bunch of other people how to crochet as well. i always thought knitting would be way more difficult (i mean, there are
two needles, not just one!) so i never really tried to learn. a couple of years ago, i finally broke down and checked out some knitting videos on youtube. then i was lucky enough to get a few private lessons from some sweet friends that taught me a little more. i'm still far from good at knitting but i have fun making little things for myself and other people and learning more!
for anyone interested in learning how to knit from watching videos, i like Liat from KNITFreedom. there is also a great knit and crochet community at
ravelry.
