As someone who is working on it from the other way (know how to knit, trying to learn to crochet) I can say it's a challenge. The other craft feels so entirely different, yet you're working with the same materials and your brain keeps wanting to identify with the one it knows. But, keep at it. Keep practicing, don't get upset when you screw up. It's well worth it to be able to do both. The combination of the two can make some amazing things. :)
Knitting is somewhat simpler because as PBJ mentioned, it's only got the two stitches to learn. Everything else is a variation of those. Also don't be afraid to do things that interest you. If you enjoy making scarves, go for it. It's a good way to practice your stitches and make useful things while you're at it. But, if you are more interested in making other things. . .dive in. Even if you have to start/rip/start rip/start rip. . .it's all practice. (Personally, when learning to knit, I did a shawl. THen I promptly dived into making socks. rotflol I did not want to have to wait. Took me a few days to get the whole concept of using double-pointed needles and knitting circularly. . .lots of knitting, ripping until I could turn out a tube that actually looked right. But once I got it, I was able to go on and make what I liked. Also, use Youtube. The videos will help you 'see' the concepts you're trying to learn a lot better than simple text will. |
