The pictures & diagrams in books have improved vastly since then, but video tutorials on the internet make it so much easier - not only for beginners, but for when I want to learn a more advanced technique.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050356959156278670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566675312210379270.post-77094877208030438982016-03-31T17:00:29.140+01:002016-03-31T17:00:29.140+01:00My mum taught me to knit when I was five, but I...My mum taught me to knit when I was five, but I've always wanted to crochet as well so i am now taking lessons!LindaRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02045025649236801448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1566675312210379270.post-36552386177484696542016-03-29T12:13:02.941+01:002016-03-29T12:13:02.941+01:00I love these tutorials.

So I've been crocheting for about 45 years but I've only been a serious knitter for 5 years. My Mum taught me to knit when I was 7 but I didn't like it as much as crochet so for about 40 years I only took up the pins occasionally - when we had to learn at school for instance. Fast forward to five years ago and I challenged myself to knit socks for my Mum - she had started them but had only done one cuff before they got relegated to the bottom of the pile (Mum didn't even notice the yarn & pins had vanished) her face was a picture when I gave her them! With all the rattling down and re-knitting I had knitted the equivalent of 3.5 pair's to get that one pair but it was worth it because that was me well and truely hooked and my knitting had gone from strength to strength since. My KnitPro Symphonies were certainly well worth buying, they are very well used and well loved!
