Thanks!

Answer 1

I know how, but there's no way I could explain it in writing, lol, so I found this site for you -- have fun!

Answer 2

Here's a site with step-by-step pictures:

If you can get access to a computer that DOES handle videos, you should really try this site.  It's how I first learned to knit, and it has videos for all sorts of techniques:

Or, at the library or bookstore, you might want to check out Debbie Stoller's Stitch n' *****: The Knitter's Handbook.  Hands down easiest instructions I've ever seen in a book.

Just be patient, and you'll get it.  Try bamboo needles if you can.  They're not as slippery.  Also, look for yarn that is wool or a blend...  It's nicer to work with than acrylic.  Good luck!

Answer 3

There are some nice, clear photos on this website, using LARGE needles.  Good luck!! :)
