[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Trouble learning to knit

[Henry Osborne]

Hi Kaila, or maybe you are keeping the stitches too close to the tips of 
your needles. Just another thought.

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
