Playing with string

Anyone out there want to teach me how to knit? Or crochet? Or both? (Yeah, like I don't do enough crafts already...)

The problem I had the one time I tried to learn it from a book was that I could not translate the 2-dimensional pictures into my 3-dimensional hands. The things that were explained well in words, I got, but the stuff that needed the pictures... not so much.

Yeah, you may have a similar visual/spatial mix going. Oh, brains, we loves them and we hates them.

In this case, I think part of the problem was the particular book I was trying to use. The pictures were all black and white line drawings, where it was sometimes hard to tell which bit was supposed to be the needle and which the yarn. I sort of let it discourage me from trying other books, which may have been a mistake.
