Knitters please advise

[Graphista]

I can knit insofar as I can make w square and purl or knit but I don't know how to increase or decrease or how to follow a pattern or vary tension (seems to me I can only knit in the way I do tension wise I don't get how you can change that)

Can you please recommend an online guide?

Preferably clear and simple to follow, videos might help with solidifying info but I don't think I could actually learn from those alone.

Yes I could google but that doesn't mean I'd know which advice was good/correct as anyone can post online. I need to sort the wheat from the chaff.

Hope you can help

I love this thread. I'm a new lockdown knitter. I can knit regular stitch and nothing else! I've learned to add in wool though, so my scarves get to a decent length!

I can across these V&A patterns from the 1940s.its like they're talking in another language. But I'm keeping on, slowly learning new stitches and stuff.

My local wool shop is doing click and collect, might be worth investigating that Op?
