So, I taught myself to knit by viewing YouTube videos. But, I ordered "A little course in...Crochet" and saw this one on knitting. I only know basic knitting. These little books are adorable, full of step-by-step photos and simple projects to try. They do include a variety of new stitches to learn as well. I can always learn. If not, then maybe one day one of my two granddaughters will be interested in learning this craft.
