learn to knit from another person in person

Recommended by eva h

in response to zoë

I’d like to get into knitting, but struggle to be stoked with making a 101 chunky hat etc. on the knitting needles that are connected 🧶 Is it advisable to just jump into a project that I actually want to try, or is it really best to learn the skills ground up first with a beginner project? (Also total bonus rec for HOW you learned to knit)

can’t recommend enough learning the basics from a person who’s physically with you. once you’ve got the fundamentals there are lots of good videos online for techniques but i swear it’ll be so much easier to learn from a person irl. if you don’t have any friends / family that knit, check out local yarn stores (never visited one that didn’t have multiple knitting groups) and your local library.

Came here to say +1 to yarn stores! They often have in-person knitting events
