Hi Julia,

it's nice to see you here with our little group. We are all at different skill levels but it seems to be working for us well. I'm slightly above beginner in knitting. I tried to teach myself out of books and found it impossible. I took a "class" when I was still in San Francisco and it made a world of difference. Now I can look at the pictures in the books and actually understand what they mean. Hopefully you will be able to make it to the meeting I am trying to get together for next week.

Also, on another tribe someone posted a link to this really great site. www.knittinghelp.com. (if that doesn't work try it with one t... I'm knot the worlds best speller). This sight has videos you can watch to see how it is done. I have personally found that actually seeing the knitting being done is a much better way to learn than trying to figure out the pictures.
