on 11/19/2008 Very clear instructions! I will refer this to a friend who is trying to learn how to knit. I prefer crochet myself.

on 1/5/2008 Hi, thanks for your comments.
I crocheted for years before I got into knitting. It was really hard at first, but I persisted and now I love it! I think the continental method is easier for crocheters to do because the yarn is carried in the left hand. Hang in there it will get easier.

on 1/4/2008 Hi I have watched several of your videos on knittincg. I want to get into knitting. I have tried it but I'm very slow at it. You are very fast at it. I crochet mostly. I make bed dolls and purses. I also want to get into plastic canvas. Keep up the good work
