Well I can say I am very good at casting on stitches, lol, because of starting over so many times. There is more than one way to cast on. There are also two ways to knit, English and Continental. Now I know why I could never get the hang of it before, my mom was trying to teach me the English way, you hold the yarn in your right hand. The continental way, you hold it in your left hand, like I do when crocheting. Duh. Makes it easier.
I have a pattern for a baby hat that is written with crochet AND knit instructions, I wanted to see the knit version is just as cute.
