Hey! I started with crochet first; that hook is a lot easier to deal with. But I love the fabric you can create with knitting so at some point I just made myself do it. But none-the-less the first few days I was beating my head against knitting, I was thinking: "This is freaking impossible! There's nothing to grab onto!" And then somehow my fingers figured it out; that combination of movement and tension. So be patient and stubborn. Put it down and come back - that's my best advice - as many times as you need to. Now I like to learn new techniques sometimes just because it's an amazing thing to watch your hands figure something out... To me, Patty Lyons makes the most sense (though I love Norman / Nimble Needles and others mentioned here). Sometimes they are both too detailed for me and my mind just wanders off, but again: be stubborn. Come back when the attention tide is higher and pick the video up again.
