My grandmother taught me how to knit when I was about 10 years old. I remember when I first started knitting, she would do all the casting on and binding off for me. Whenever I dropped a stitch or had any other type of roadblock, all knitting would cease until she was able to look at and fix it. After I moved away from home, she was only a phone call away to address any questions (and not just knitting questions).

I am always impressed to hear of other people who taught themselves to knit through reading how-to manuals. I am much more of a hands on learner – maybe I just need more hand holding through the process. In any event, this is a great site for anyone who is like me. It is brought to you courtesy of Knitting Beyond the Hebrides. Check it out – there are so many wonderful links on this site. It can be our Internet Grammy!
