anyone learning to knit?

I'm a crafty kinda girl, but I've never knit a thing in my life. I'm jealous of the people that sit and knit while holding a perfectly normal conversation with you. I don't want to try anything crazy, just a simple blanket. Anyone know of any good Youtube teaching videos or simple patterns to try?

    www.knittinghelp.com has some good instructional videos on how to do the knit and purl stitches.  I used them when I learned to knit.  If you pick up the hobby and want some great patterns, join ravelry (www.ravelry.com)

    I'm teaching myself how to knit too! Something to pass quiet times when I don't feel like moving. I'm also quilting both babies a blanket so much of my crafty energy goes into that.

    i 2nd knittinghelp.com and ravelry....ravelry is free to join, and there are so many free knitting projects and so many awesome people to help you 

    i learned to knit when my sister was pregnant for the first time and knit her a blanket for the baby...my 7yo nephew still uses it...and after my niece was born i knit her a blanket it as well....

    i'm already looking through all the patterns on ravelry (i'm knittingchick for anyone who's on there) and i can't wait to start knitting baby things for me!

    I've been learning to crochet, but would love to learn knitting - I'm sure it would be much faster than the crochet work I've been doing!

    I've been learning to crochet too!  I've always been a crafty kind of girl, and I love cross-stitching and sewing.  But for whatever reason, crochet has been WAY hard for me.  It's definitely not one of those things I can do while I sit and talk to someone, let alone relax or watch a movie.  Sigh, hopefully it will get easier the more I practice.

    I taught myself how to both knit and crochet.  I like crochet MUCH MUCH better.  For me it's faster and I can do more things with it.  IE I think I kitted a scarf - once.  But I've done hats, and scarves, and blankets with crochet. 
    If your interested there is an awesome gal on youtube - the crochet geek, and she makes learning new techniques and patterns easy.  I learned how to make hats from her tutorials. 
    Good luck and have fun!  It's so cool to put something on your baby that you made yourself!

    i like teaching people to knit. I have taught several of my friends. I really want to make a youtube video on how to knit because some i had to watch several to figure it out but i can teach people how in person no problem.

    Thanks, Ladies!

    I am going to pick up some yarn today to practice with (I already have a plethora of needles from my G-ma)
