I want to learn how to knit...

What do I need to go and buy at the craft store to start teaching myself? I know I will need a book to learn from....but what materials. I'm clueless....never done this before but I'm determined to learn! Thanks for the help.

I taught myself using a little pamphlet from my grandmother together with direction on the internet. Some sites even have little movie files to show you how.

I would just buy some cheap yarn and a pair of medium sized needles, just to get the hang of it. I think probably size 8 or 10 are good ones to start with.

Thanks!

I found it hard to learn without someone showing me the basics- then I was able to figure out the rest from books.

Most little yarn stores have someone that will teach you. AC moore does, too.

I saw a lady in AC Moore teaching people...

I bought a kit in Target to make a scarf. It came with everything needed, a manual, and a DVD to show you. I have been doing great with it. I learned 5 different stiches from the DVD.

I am taking knitting in Adult Ed. at MacArthur....maybe this time I will finally get it!!

I've done the scarf thing a few times, now I want to move on to bigger and better things. I think I need to take a class or something. I don't think I can learn from a book.
