I actually learned to knit from a book, a CD, and a couple of sites on the internet. The most helpful to me were the CD and a site called Fiber Arts. The Beginner Lessons are free and they show how to knit and purl using both Continental and English methods. http://www.fiberartshop.com/knclbg.htm Keep at it. It gets easier and more comfortable the more you do it. It looks good. I actually learned to knit from a book, a CD, and a couple of sites on the internet.

Woo hoo! I tried learning to knit from my mother. What got her, was she had no idea what I was doing, and I couldn't follow what she was doing. It turned out, I took a class because I really didn't know how I was getting knit stiches without using my mother's method....little did we know, I was a continental knitter, and she was an English knitter. A Tale of Two Knitters...lol Your stitches are knit, most definitely! Woo hoo! I tried learning to knit from my mother.

Do you know the name for the cast-on method you used? I'm learning to knit now, too. So far I've got knit and purl down pretty well (I think... nobody's critiqued me!), I've picked up stitches and knit in the round, I've joined yarn, and am making an i-cord (probably a pretty pathetic one, but I'm trying not to be too perfectionist about it... it is going to be felted), and I've even started on a baby sweater... I hope it turns out... I want to give it to a cousin who is having a baby! At least I'm feeling brave about it. You'll get it... I'm sure of it... especially if you have a project that's inspiring you to keep going. I was thinking that your cast on stitches looked very nice.

My first few attempts were a joke as well. Now I'm making a scarf!!! But I think you're doing well, much better than my first time!! Keep up the good work, but don't forget good ol Crochet :) I learned to knit just a few months ago. My first few attempts were a joke as well. Now I’m making a scarf!!!

Your stitches look fine. I made LOTS of dishcloths to practice.
