I am going to do it...

I just have to!!!

Last year my 'goal' for the year was to learn how to knit. I got as far as casting on... lmao!!! ( a few factors here...1). DS stopped taking afternoon naps and 2). We had a kitten...well...you can guess how that went! lol)

But I am also more determined this year.
I love love love love yarn! I drool over it...its so beautiful and I want it all!
I also love love love knits!!! I want so many knitted things for myself and my son! I am just going to have to learn how to do it myself!!!

So this is my new goal!

I have a friend who knits - she babysits her grand daughter during the week. Perhaps I will ask her if she can help - I am very hands on learner so books etc are great but dont always cut it! See what she says...ill temp her over with 'playdate' and tea and biscuits! lmao

Hooray!

You can do it!

Check out this site, it has little videos for you to watch, which might be more helpful for you than just a book, since you say you're more of a hands-on kinda girl.

You might also want to check at your library for videos -- that might be a good option for you.

Have fun, and don't be shy about asking questions (and making mistakes, which is a great way to learn!).
