So, questions for all you knitters out there:
1. What equipment do I need? I am at least vaguely aware that I need knitting needles and wool, but that's about it. If there are different types of wool or different types of needles (as I suspect there are) then I'd be totally lost. I also suspect that I'd probably need several things I'd not even considered, like sticky-backed plastic or sacrificial goats.
2. Where do I get such things? Ideally, somewhere where I could order online would be nice, since that would involve the minimal of human interaction, but failing that, what sort of actual three dimensional shop would sell them, and how would I find such a thing?
3. Does anyone know of any nice "teach yourself knitting" type guides? Preferably online ones, preferably ones with lots of pictures or videos, and preferably ones aimed at the terminally inept, who need to be told repeatedly to remember not to stab themselves in the eye with knitting needles.
4. What question am I failing to ask here which is vitally important, and more importantly, what's the answer to it?
