    I agree - Attic24. But also look at Yout*be, some great tutorials, very slow and clear.

    Hi

    I can usually be found on the Cross Stitch Cafe forum. here

    Knitting is something I would love to be able to do but I am not very good at it. and if I see a pattern that involves increasing/decreasing then I tend to avoid as I feel very out of my depth. This does however limit the knitting projects I can do.

    I have lots of knitting books but never use them. I don't have enough time to enjoy my other hobbies so knitting (as I am not very good at it) means it takes a backseat.

    Anyhow, I have bought some Supa-dupa extra chunky by king cole wool and thought I would stick with it and knit a scarf. :j

    I bought two balls of 200g and hope this will be enough. How many stitches would you recommend I cast on and I guess I can stitch until the wool runs out ?

    My local haberdashery shop has some quite funky knitting wool that you use to make a scarf. Can anyone recommend any particularly easy suggestions from any online retailers? They all look so complicated!

    Yesterday I was mostly knitting these:

    My Dr goes on maternity leave soon, and has been such a great support over the past year, I wanted to give her a little something.

    Pattern came from Ravelry - Oh! Baby Baby Booties
    Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.
