I learn best by doing and seeing, so if a manual has really good step by step directions and pictures, I'm pretty ok with trying something new. I have a knitting machine I bought a few years ago that I don't know how to use yet (and it's a darned nice one too with many bells and whistles) that I haven't even tried yet because the manual isn't that great. When I have time someday I will look for videos on You Tube. I'm not good at figuring things out on my own. -- Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading: Lucy in the Sky by Paige Toon Earn cash for answering trivia questions every 3 hours: http://instantcashsweepstakes.com/invitations/ref_link/49497 See everything I've read this year at: www.michrxtech.com/books.html
