Did you know that not only do I have patterns written for those who already know how to knit, but I can teach you to knit too! Over the years I've made a number of YouTube videos ranging videos for beginners to those with a little more experience.
Right now I have a very beginner pattern that shows you the very basics, from the yarn to use, needles, how to knit and work in the ends. In the end you get a dishcloth. Dishcloths are a great thing for beginners because if it doesn't turn out perfectly, it is still usable. And dammit! You should be proud of that!
