[QUOTE="witzend, post: 611037, member: 99"] [URL]http://www.knittinghelp.com/[/URL] Start with a fairly large needle and a heavy gauge yarn. While you're learning you tend to hold onto everything so tightly that small needles and thin yarn is very hard to deal with. Keep your yarn loose. Make your first project "not a project". Cast on (you'll learn) 20 - 30 stitches and knit. You'll drop some. I never figured "picking up stitches" out. As you finish rows, count to be sure that you have the same number of stitches as you started with. It's easy to split the thread and add a stitch or drop a stitch. Then pull it all off of the needle and start over and purl. [/QUOTE]
