BeatrixKiddo's Profile

knittinghelp.com is a great resource for videos, and they also have an iphone/itouch app that is worth the money to download as it comes in handy when your knitting on the go.
A local yarn store is the best option to find quality yarns, but Michael's also has a few decent yarns for less money.
Ravelry.com is great for patterns, connecting with other knitters, and researching yarns.
Knitting is nothing to be scared of, once you learn the basics, it is very easy to learn new techniques, and it is great for gift giving. And yes "LEARN CONTINENTAL" ;)
