Announcement/Warning

Despite the potential danger to myself and/or others, I have decided to learn to knit.

What can I say, I'm a sucker for peer pressure. (Okay, so I only have two peers I'm aware of who knit but that seems to be enough to nudge.)

To make the kitty bed you need to be able to cast on, knit, and use double pointed needles and circular needles. Don't let people tell you any of that stuff is hard because it's totally not. Get yourself a copy of Knitting For Dummies or just go look at the tutorials on about.com and places like that. There are lots of links on the livejournal knitting community user info page too.

I was looking at Knitting for Dummies last night, wondering if it would be worth the investment. Right now, I'm stumbling through with a basic "learn to knit" starter kit, trying to figure out how to control my tension. But I do like the For Dummies books in general, so I might go back and pick it up.
