Melissa, it's not hard at all, and using the larger needles and yarn, you can make things very quickly. When I was in high school, I used to make purses in one night. When you get home in May, I'll show you the basics and we can head to Hobby Lobby to find some fun stuff.
Here are a couple of websites that show you the basics. The second one probably has the simplist approach. http://www.learntoknit.com/instructions_kn.php3 http://www.theyarnco.com/instruction.php The thing that I like about small knit and crochet projects is that you can do them just about anywhere. Puts time waiting at doctor's offices, airports, etc. to good constructive use.

The only thing I can knit are scarves......but I have made tons of them for myself, friends and family!
 I love going to the yarn store and getting a new color/texture.

I'm excited about learning, I wanna be able to knit scarves and bags and stuff like that. Heaven knows I love bags, but they cost so much, if I could make my own that would be so awesome!! Socks too!!! I wanna knit warm socks to wear around the house so my feet won't get cold.
