While for me, I think I do find it easier to just try it out on my own with the help of books (I definitely prefer books over YouTube because I've found so many mistakes in YouTube videos... at least books have to go through publishers and editors and pattern testers before it can be published), I think for most people, having someone there to show you how to do it is best. I love teaching! For those that want to learn, check out local craft stores and local yarn shops. Some places have specials where you can take a class for half off if you sign up during a certain period (the class doesn't have to be during that time, just when you hand over the cash to take it).

Is anyone working on any projects right now? I have quite a few in progress... Mostly, a prayer shawl for my good friend that's going on a mission trip to Zimbabwe and a granny square blanket for my sister. It was her Christmas present, but it's made up of 48 squares with 6 different colors then three different colors around the border... That's a lot of ends to sew in... And that's where I'm at... Sewing in.. hundreds and hundreds of ends.... I learned my lesson about granny square blankets....
