First, a Word about Learning
Although all the resources I’m sharing below are either online or in print, I cannot stress enough the value of synchronous (live, in person or virtual) learning.

Books to Improve Your Knitting Skills
The Knitting Answer Book by Margaret Radcliffe is in its 2nd edition, and while it is not specifically a learn-to-knit book, it does answer many of the questions you’ll come across as you learn new skills.
Video Tutorials
Video tutorials are a great way to learn snippets of information. I have an entire catalog of tutorials, and it’s growing all the time.
