Cara (my 9 yo daughter) is interested in knitting. Since I'm horrible with any kind of handwork, I don't even know how to help her start. There are a couple of knitting shops in Tulsa (40 miles away). Would that be a good place to begin?
Yes! Knitting shops seem to most times have someone just eagar to help a new knitter get started. I got the book "Kids Knit" for my 10 year old daughter and that has great instructions too...for times you don't feel like the 40 mile drive. My daughters first project was a beanbag...which is more like a snake...but she still loved it. She is doing headbands and potholders now until she gets the hang of it better, but has plans for so much more. I bet the knitting shop can recomend a good book too..good luck

Making piggy squares to sew into a blanket is an easy way to learn. These can be all done in plain stitch. You can use different colours or make stripes on your squares. Cast on 10 stiches in double knitting and knit 15-20 rows, cast off.
