To Jenanne from the comments: Taking a class sounds like such a great idea. I think I've managed to convince my knitting teacher (who lent me the machine) to come over one night and give me a crash course. True, I'll already have made something before then, but it won't hurt to learn the proper basics first.

To Jewel from the comments: Do you live in Montreal? I do my class in the West Island at The Wool Shop (Les Lainages du Petit Mouton) in the Pointe Claire Shopping Center. I know there are other LYSs in Montreal, but I don't usually drive downtown or really out of the West Island, so haven't braved out there yet. Supposedly some good stuff though, but I'm waiting to convince someone (anyone?) to come with me first. I'm also a member of the Montreal Knitting Guild that meets the second Tuesday of each month in Beaconsfield http://www.montrealknittinguild.com
and I also attend the Montreal Knitting Meetup (the one on Monkland, not the one in Pointe Claire) because it's right near my work. The only yarn I've bought online was from RedBirdKnits, so far. I hear great things about elann and smily's though, and plan to shop once I've got some spare cash :)

Thanks Jennifer. Yes, I do live in Montreal and I'm such a staunch Plateau rat that I only get out to the West Island when my MIL drives in to get us, maybe twice a year.
I just can't find a decent LYS or knitting group downtown-- everything's in the 'burbs.
Maybe I'll have to ask her to stop at a yarn shop next Christmas.... lol.
