I can honestly tell you the BEST thing to do is to just keep at it. It is very true how just keeping on knitting will give you the practise you need to improve. Scarf patterns are ideal as a start- because you can learn so many ways of combining your two stitches without having to worry about shaping (aka increasing and decreasing)- plus their long length gives you lots of practise!<br />A sock or stocking is ideal for learning circular knitting, short rows and shaping :)<br />Linda: thank you.
