I found the best method for learning to knit.  I bought a book...then handed said book over to my mother, who was visiting for the weekend.  She learned to knit from the book and then taught me. :)  Easy!  OK, so far I've only made a couple of little squares, each one not-so-square in shape and composed entirely of the garter stitch (no purling yet), but still! It's progress.  Thanks Mom!
