Does anyone know of a good website that will teach you how to knit?

Question

I'm looking for something with visual directions as well as written.

Answer 1

I'm just starting to learn how to knit, and I have a book called "The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting and Crocheting". Don't get this book! It's so confusing. The pictures aren't any good. The only way I was able to figure out what to do was to look at video online. The site that I thought was very good is:

http://www.knittinghelp.com/

Some sites use Real Player for their video, and I won't use that, but knittinghelp.com uses Windows Media Player.

The videos help SO MUCH more than just a picture and a description, I think.

Good luck! :)

Answer 2

Here are a couple of web sites to start you off. The second one has instruction for left or right handed people but the graffics are fuzzy. good luck. Knitting is a great hobbie.

Answer 3

i have found that having a book in front of u with pictures is easier than constantly rewinding videos. go to ur craft store and get any book that says knitting made easy and has pics inside
good luck

Answer 4

This web site is very helpful because it has videos--it's just like watching someone sitting with you. I find it easier than learning from photos & text because you can see the motion of the needles and how the yarn is wrapped.
