emails you a mini knitting course for beginners. not sure how great it is though.
I'm going to re-learn to knit again, and make myself a nice scarf, hat, gloves and socks for winter hehe. I used to do it when I was younger, back when my granny taught me [the original and best away to learn how to knit ] | |

I just meant wee beanies and maybe stripes. don't think I could handle a skull and crossbones pattern quite yet (although I like the scarf), but I think I could manage stripes.
Not into 'character' hats. | |

Not into 'character' hats. | Skull and crossbones pattern is really just switching colours, and you get a chart to follow. It's not as hard as it looks. For a stripey scarf, I'd cast on 25 stitches with double knit and just stocking stitch it. | |

I'm rubbish | Double knitting weight yarn. Following a chart is easy, I'll go over it with you when I see you next. Quote:

I figured out how to add the other colour btw, and it was for a stripe. | |
