Or, i should say, attempting?? to knit!
Can anyone suggest an online video that explains some basics of
knitting....i managed to cast on and am knitting a scarf (ONLY
knitting...don't know how to purl!). I'd like to figure out how to
bind off....and in general, progress in this.
And...being a needleworker (counted thread) and quilter...i'm assuming
that one can get really carried away with the fibers....
thanks so much
Betsey

At www.knittinghelp.com there are videos that show several ways of
casting on, how to knit, purl, increase sts, decrease sts, bind off/cast
off and everything in between.

Welcome Betsey, I'm sure you'll thoroughly enjoy knitting. It is great
fun and very satisfying especially when you can see or wear something you
have made.
The site at: http://www.helloknitty.com/videoinstr.htm has videos showing
various ways to cast on as well as how to purl, also how to bind off.
If you get stuck just yell! There is usually someone who can help. :-)

Instead of purling, just knit the stitches off backward. A tad
difficult at first, but it actually works. I used to have a site with
pictures that showed how, but somehow have managed to lose it. Frances

I'm pretty sure there's still one on YouTube.com - just search for
knitting videos.
