It alternates between the two and is fairly simple. It is a longer project than a scarf but just as easy.</p> <p><a href="http://paintinglilies.com/knitting/basketweave-blanket/" rel="nofollow">http://paintinglilies.com/knitting/basketweave-blanket/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645464 Mon, 19 May 2014 19:30:04 +0000 PurplePeony 1645464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The website <a href="http://www.knitty.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.knitty.com</a> also has some great tutorials and free patterns arranged by difficulty. As you get more confident, TechKnitter has a fabulous blog, but a lot of her topics are a bit more advanced. But ravelry is always my go-to site for project ideas and crowdsourcing info (I just find the forums a little overwhelming sometimes because there's SO MUCH activity). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645346 Mon, 19 May 2014 18:13:01 +0000 Marfi 1645346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Just as a heads up there are 2 main kinds of knitting English and Continental each with a different grip. The videos above show English style. I would recommend for someone just starting out to look at both and find the best grip for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645238 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:48:54 +0000 cascademom 1645238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: The original Stitch and Bitch book is a great learning resource. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645208 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:29:37 +0000 babycanuck 1645208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: I literally watched it this morning a few times (I struggled...) and after the 3rd try I was knitting! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645206 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:28:57 +0000 MrsBrewer 1645206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsPastryLady: @babycanuck: Thanks!!!

I've mostly just done baby blankets at this point (about a year and a half of knitting), but I've also done a couple of washcloths and infinity scarves. My new project is knitted hedgehogs. <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2013/2/9/whits-knits-knit-hedgehogs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2013/2/9/whits-knits-knit-hedgehogs.html</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645183 Mon, 19 May 2014 16:10:38 +0000 MrsBrewer 1645183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@babycanuck: Can I ask how you learned??

I love their projects. I also use jimmybeanswool.com for my yarn and needles. they have a rewards program that is great and usually have free shipping. I also use knittinghelp.com for some basics and good videos on techniques </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1645141 Mon, 19 May 2014 15:43:42 +0000 Snowdrop 1645141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another vote for ravelry, I get most of my patterns off there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/attn-hb-knitters#post-1644751 Mon, 19 May 2014 13:01:11 +0000 knittylady 1644751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely ravelry!

The Knit Witch is a great Youtube resource for figuring out a new stitch.
