I got on youtube and taught myself the knit, purl, cast on and bind off stitches. (yay me) but for the life of me I can't read a pattern! ha ha So I am going to learn from you guys through 'computer osmosis'!
Learning to read the patterns was the hardest thing for me too. Even if I knew what the abbreviations meant, it didn't mean I understood what to do!! Congratulaions! I think you'll love knitting! Jackye
