I'm combining these two days as the first question answers the second for the most part...
How did you learn how to knit?/How long did it take from the time your learned how to knit, to finish your first project?
I had (re)learned how to crochet (from my grandma) about a year prior. I was totally in love. I crocheted 24/7. The more I crocheted, however, the more dismayed I became that I couldn't make socks (at least not socks that looked like conventional socks*). So, one day when I was more bored than bored (hard to imagine isn't it?) I asked my mom to show me. She did and I hated it *gasp* I couldn't figure it out, it was painstakingly slow and I gave up after about an hour.
I tried on and off again for about six months before I finally got it. After frogging and reknitting the same swatch to perfection I moved on to dpns and things took off from there (even if dpns I do not love).
*Note: I have since discovered this shiny book in the knitpicks catalogue...I will be getting my hands on a copy...
