  I've found myself to be a stay at home mum, and in a bid to save a bit of extra money, and maybe even make some, I want to take up knitting and crocheting. I live nowhere near any family (my mother in law is my closest family member, as the crow flies, and she's a 2 hour drive away), so I know I'll likely have to teach myself. There's a knitting circle at the local library who donate all works to local charities, but to start with, I want to make some simple things for my children - scarves, beanies, etc. 
Anyone on my f-list have any books that are easy to follow and easily available outside of the US that they can recommend? Books with DVD instructions (I don't mind using my computer to help as a tutor ;) ) would be even better.
Thanks :)
