What was your first project? I've been dying to learn how to knit, with the eventual goal of making socks, but can't decide where or how to start.
I would consider myself an advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter, but when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.
Where's a good place to start? What would you recommend needles-wise?
Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the advice!
I ordered size 7 circular knitting needles (bamboo) to start. I'm going to try a hat so that I can get some practice knitting in the round.
My needles don't get here until Tuesday, and I can't walk at the moment, so I'm practicing casting on with chopsticks!
Thanks again
The best thing about circular needles is you can use them to knit flat anyway, so you only need to buy each size once instead of each size in straight, circular and DPN form! Yes I am cheap, yes I stand by it.
