Ellie Member Registered: 11/07/02 Posts: 72 Loc: Towson	Does anyone know who teaches beginner knitting in the Baltimore area??? My niece has been making these unbelievable pocketbooks but she lives in New York and we have not been together long enough for her to teach me - It seems much easier then a sweater - I used to know how and just want to refresh on the basics

lionspaaw Member Registered: 11/28/02 Posts: 887 Loc: SW Florida	Ellie -- If you already know how to knit and just need to "brush up" - couldn't you use one of the "teach yourself to knit" type books -- they have all the basics in there. Then if you have trouble with the pattern you can either get your daughter to help you via email/phone or come here and we'll try to help carolyn

lionspaaw Member Registered: 11/28/02 Posts: 887 Loc: SW Florida	hmmmmmm -- knitting is my passion -- I would NEVER have quessed that Old Knitter Knitting seems to becoming a lost art -- it's so much cheaper to go buy that sweater, afghan, etc than to buy yarn -- but there sure isn't anything more relaxing -- unless of course it's crochetting
