starting out

[adventures_with_kat]

Hey guys

I've recenty lost a huge majority of my vision and have always been to art/crafty things and was looking at getting into knitting.
Do you guys think it is very visual?
Also any good book recommendations to use to help start out?

thanks in advance :-)

My interaction with knitting is fairly visual, but the actual reasons I really like it are all about the interplay of the strands and the feel of it. Picking up the construction techniques may be harder, but if you have the same love for the way stuff fits together there's nothing inherently visual about appreciating it, and in any case when actually doing anything even remotely complicated I do a lot better thinking spatially but in my head than in trying to stare at what I'm doing to sort it out. So, sure, worth a shot!
