h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Blimey how did you find this place, I'm the keeper of Knitting Needles cos I like to know, the pleased to meet you bit is a tribute to Mick Jagger

Opps I'll shuffle out then, I followed a I was once cool thread to the craft guild and stumbled here, saw a familiar name and decided.

Ah right, so are you knitting anything ATM

*Jumps and glances apologitically behind*
No, I don't know how to knit. I could do origami and that's about the extent craft-wise, more of a bookish sort that simply lurks.

You should try

Ah well I would love not to make any more excuses but really no one in my family knows how and my friends are blabbing about prom and college and it's just that... How would I go about learning?

Books and magazines

*glances at her subscriptions of National Geographics and Earth*
Okay I'll take a look!
What would you recommend... Is there a knitting for dummies book?

Funny you should mention that.........I recommend a magazine called Simply Knitting

Thanks! *trots off to google it*
