Knitting resources for beginners (lemmy.ml)

I hope this post is okay here?

Basically I can knit, and I can purl. I can knit a long 'thing,' and once, using circular needles, I made a 'tube' but I'd like to do more

Can anyone recommend a resource, preferably written with pictures, and maybe a link to a video to progress to something more complex? (it would help if the video is simple and slow)

I would like to eventually make a sock (I must be a masochist).

The thing is I struggle to understand the 'code' of patterns so I need something really basic, I'm also autistic (I don't know if that would cause issues, per-say, but thought I'd include it in order to give an overview of potential difficulties)

Thank you for any help you can offer 👍

@quinacridone You would absolutely love Tin Can Knits. They have tons of written guides for beginners with pictures, and videos aren't mandatory in any way.

Thank you, I'm now checking out their hats in one of my many tabs

@quinacridone Hope you enjoy! I love their patterns and my self-taught knitting journey started with their incredible beginner's guides. I learned socks with their tutorial too and every pair I've done has turned out perfect.
