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 :-)

Seconding this comment; I also knit combined, and it affects how the stitches "sit" on the needles, meaning that a knit and a purl stitch will feel different to your fingers and when poking your needle through it.

I generally don't have to look at my hands, unless I drop a stitch and have to fix a mistake.


I don't know any books offhand, but the two resources I used to learn are:

A combined knitting tutorial by Bella Knitting, and Anne Modesitt's website (link is for purl instructions)
