Knitting research

I visited the residential home this afternoon where my grandmother lives to discuss knitting with the residents. They were shocked I could not knit as when they were young it was what every body did. They told me about casting off and fair isle knitting. However, apparently it would take me a while to be able to get the hang of knitting and a long time until I could make any clothing items. I would need to start off with an easy pattern and large knitting needles around size 9 as the small sizes would take forever to make anything. They explained a pattern to be an instruction book and a guide to how much wool would be needed. They were surprised to find out I did not even know the terminology they were using. I have a lot to learn. Next time I visit my grandmother will teach me how to knit she is a very skilled at knitting and will hopefully remember all the techniques involved.
