Would anyone like to teach me to knit?

[Billinge 10]

Hi

 

I'd really like to learn how to knit and I wondered if anyone would like to come to my house or meet somewhere else once a week or so for a couple of hours and teach me. I'll buy whatever you tell me I need and/or am happy to pay you. Alternatively, are there any groups out there that offer beginner knitting classes. I'd like to attend the class at Straight Curves but I don't drive and couldn't really get there.

 

Thanks:)

Hi

 

I've has no responses on the knitting forum so thought I'd post here. Apologies if that's not allowed. I'm female, 26 and wondered if an acomplished knitter would like to meet up for a couple of hours each week and teach me. I'm happy to pay in cash or coffee and would obviously buy my own materials. PM me x

PS. Sorry about the incorrect spelling in the title of this message - I hadn't noticed until I posted it and do not know how to change it - mods?

If you learn better by being shown what to do rather than looking at illustrations and instructions in book, you might want to have a look here. There are lots of knitting instructional videos there, in both English and Continental styles, from the very basics through increases, decreases and so on to more advanced techniques. I use YouTube all the time to find tutorials too. You might find the videos useful as reminders between your knitting lessons.

 

Check out Ravelry too, if you're not already a member.
