I'm hoping to learn from a book. We'll see how that goes...

BTW, any preference for bamboo vs. aluminum needles?

[Knitting A Conundrum]

Start with bamboo. It helps keep the yarn from slipping. Then as you go further along, you may find you want it more slippy. Then switch to coated metal.

I do some knitting on steel needles, too, but they are very slippy.
