We were all taught basic knitting in school when I was a kid, alongside sewing and all. But I think I stuck with it because my mom likes to knit and helped me whenever I lost a knit or got confused. It was pretty simple to figure out stuff after you learn to read the knits though and after that I've been learning new techniques from YouTube whenever a pattern requires it. But I would probably still credit those school lessons for providing me with the tools and materials to try so I could then look more into it myself to really learn!
