She is a complete but very eager beginner, I did some basic knitting as a child, but can't remember any of it, so we need to learn and make together. She will absolutely love it I know, so I am happy to get her some kit or a good book etc to get her started, and work along with her. Our local craft shop unfortunately doesn't run children's classes, otherwise I would send her on that.
What is best to start her off? Good book/DVD recommendation? Size of needles? Easy to get going patterns? Use a loom? Wool types - is acrylic wool any good?
Lots of questions, but really just loooking at a good way to get started as it's all a bit of a mystery to me! Thank you.
