   To Paisley- you deserve a lot of credit, teaching yourself to knit! I learned from a friend, when I found out our children would learn in first grade- at the Waldorf school. 12 years later, iam the handwork teacher at the school and knit all the time. Some books I can recomend are: Knitting Without Tears, by Elizabeth Zimmerman (see http://www.schoolhousepress) and the Vogue knitting Book. Also good are Knitting in Plain English and all of Barbara Walker's stich dictionaries. Good luck!

   *Dear Paisley- still knitting? Great! On-line stores can be found in the ads in both Vogue Knitting (the magazine) and Knitters. Try http://www.patternworks.com, they seem to have a lot. A cheap row counter is a deposit slip from your checkbook-yes! for each row knitted, mark off 1, 2, 3, etc. A livelier knitting discussion group for you might be e.knitting.com - since Threads stopped printing articles about knitting, most of these discussion groups are about fine sewing. To be fair , Threads printed 2 wonderful books about knitting, Hand knitting Techniques from Threads and another one, Hand knitting Traditions from Around the World. Have fun!
