Knitting 101

I've been trying to learn how to knit since 2006... I think. I bought a book, I borrowed my mom's knitting needles, I found yarn. All in all, a worthy attempted. But if you've ever knitted before, you'll know that it's no easy feat especially to get started. I basically gave up after two minutes of trying to decipher the ridiculous pictures from the book.

So, when I was perusing through TeachStreet, I came across some knitting classes in my hood. The only way to learn really IS to sit next to an old(er) lady and watch! I'm working on the beginner's stitch (I forgot what it's called), casting on (?), and binding (?). I need to get the terminology down ASAP.
