I should really learn how to knit.

[potatoboat]

it's really easy and youtube is a great resource

[eversofar]

Yeah, I hear it's not too hard to pick up.

[myriadne]

And try learning "continental" style - much easier than English style, less extraneous motion.

[valkeakuulas]

Wow, English style looks so difficult. I love continental, it's not very difficult.

Don't you have to be good at math? I'm not good at math :(

[peebs1701]

For knitting?!?!? No. Good with patterns helps, but math is NOT required.

[potatoboat]

oh nooooo. you might have to do some multiplication every once if you make your own patterns and have to do measurements, but that's about it.

[potatoboat]

lol have you watched in videos on it? that's how i had to learn and sometimes if you practice on big needles, it's helpful.

[myriadne]

This is the way I do it - it's not "technically" correct, but you really cannot tell the difference in the stitch once it's done, so I don't see why we shouldn't do it the easy way!

Start with crocheting. Crocheting is super, duper fun!

I learned from knitting.about.com a couple weeks ago, and already finished my first scarf. It even came out decently.

[kitschaster]

Oh wow. I've been looking for some knitting instruction again (as I immediately forgot how to after I knitted my first scarf). Going to save this to favorites.

I have about almost 20 skeins of yarn that need used.

[snakeling]

You're deluding yourself if you think learning to knit will decrease the amount of skeins you own ;)

[bluebombardier]

I learned from KnittingHelp.com, which has tons of videos for both continental and English knitting.

And Ravelry is the most comprehensive resource for knitters/crocheters anywhere on the 'net.
