What was your first project? I've been dying to learn how to knit, with the eventual goal of making socks, but can't decide where or how to start.
I would consider myself an advanced beginner to intermediate crocheter, but when my mom tried to teach me to cast on for knitting I went cross eyed.
Where's a good place to start? What would you recommend needles-wise?
Edit: Thank you so much everyone for the advice!
I ordered size 7 circular knitting needles (bamboo) to start. I'm going to try a hat so that I can get some practice knitting in the round.
My needles don't get here until Tuesday, and I can't walk at the moment, so I'm practicing casting on with chopsticks!
Thanks again
I learned to knit using this video: https://youtu.be/24lR2IRS57A?si=1oKzp88Kqgt2ZfgT
It's a classic garter stitch scarf, so very basic. But it's good for getting you in the groove and learning to do things like cast on and bind off.
As other people have said, continental knitting is probably the way to go if you're coming from crochet.
