Thanks for posting all of that; when I have time, I will look at it all.

Since I’m not an experienced knitter, I can probably go either way. I’ll try and figure it out.

I taught myself to crochet from books and diagrams; maybe I can do the same with knitting. I have several patterns that I’ve crocheted, but also have patterns for the knitted versions. I like the more soft, flexible texture of knitting. :-)

That's the appeal for me, too! If you taught yourself to crochet, you will be able to do the same for knitting. As you've mentioned, there's the challenge of figuring out the best way for you to hold needles/yarn, but you'll find it! Personally, I like using circular needles now, rather than the long straight ones, even when I'm not knitting in the round - easier to handle.

Since I've been talking about it, here is that "infamous" white-knuckle-no-lifeline knit lace scarf. The pattern is called "Feather & Fan".
