Videos from youtube are great or, if you can afford it, some Craftsy online courses ... I have a few and I think they are great! :)
The internet is a great source of information
I learned from my grandmother at a very young age, then didnt knit for years.To relearn I used the series of books called The Harmony Guide To Knitting Stitches.I found they described the stitches and techniques very well.If I had problems with a pattern, I could always find the requisite definitions in the Harmony Guides with clear instructions. I still use them to this day.
I crochet and knit since I was a child: I was taught both by my grandmothers and great-grandmother, bless them all.
For many years I put aside this art but lately am back to it, at full throttle, LOL! I am very much into amigurumis.
I wish I could sew though - I see some projects that inspire me but I find it utterly difficult. I even bought a sewing machine but I only used it once, when mum came over to fix my curtains and other little things.
Oh, I like cross stitch but never attempted it. It looks like a very relaxing craft. :)
good luck!
I did self study and now, I am a teacher
great! Where do you teach?
Youtube!! As always
Mom taught me how to crochet when I was 12, I learned knitting all by my self from youtube in less than a week about 6 months ago, just grab pair of needles and a ball of yarn and dont think much about it, Isince than created beautiful pieces with some very advanced techniques, and all that is just from youtube.
Youtube is the best. You need practice, practice, and practice, but its not impossible.
I learn with "very pink knits" she is the best because she has a lot of information, techniques, stitches, and slow-motion videos.
