[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Trouble learning to knit

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Kaila.
Could it be your needles, if the stitches fall off?  I like slippy steel needles, but wood or plastic are less slippy, so the stitches don't move so easily.  I also like circulars, in part because they're short and easy for me to handle.  For me, straights are too long and awkward.
Just a thought.
Tracy

I took the beginning knitting class with you guys over the phone in the past but still had no luck. My hands just don’t wanna work right in my stitches don’t want to stay on the needle. I’m willing to give it a try again but I don’t have much hope. I would love to add it to my skill set. A lot of knitting classes are offered here and I feel like I’m missing out on some of the cool projects. 

Thank you, 

Kaila
