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 :-)

I, personally, knit very visually when it's anything complicated. I knit more by feel when it's something simpler. I wish I had specific advice, but I think jackandahat gives a very good suggestion of a place to go with questions.

I think that the feel of the yarn in your hands is as important as the look of the yarn. For example, a friend was visiting from Seattle, and we made plans to go to a yarn store specifically to pet the yarn.
