    Can I still join? (Although, I've gone over to the "dark side" and made my first pair of toasty, yummy, merino wool socks in denim marl this past December. Take a look.)

    Beginner knitter

    Actually all I have is a BIG box of various knitting needles. Can you recommend somewhere a total newbe should go to get the basics before trying the hose? I think I have at least 30 different pairs of knitting needles. One of them should be the right size, right?

    This is something I have wanted to do for years. Maybe this will be the kick in the behind that I need to get something done.

    Thanks for posting and I just joined the group!

    Julie,
    The youtube links are pretty good and there is a couple $10 or less books I saw at the craft store from a knitting school that looked good. I've purchased a kit from Walmart that was less than $20 that has a basic class in it, needles and other useful items that I have been using to learn before this class starts.
