Gifted Issues Discussion homepage Forums Learning Environments Autodidactic learning and strategies for it

I've never succeeded at learning knitting from a person (though never tried as an adult). Also learned very easily from 1-2 short videos and reading.

I did discover much later that I had learned "European" style (picking rather than throwing), this made instructions for advanced cabling a little puzzling to me - tying in with HKs point that "You don't know what you don't know"... Which is something I have said to my husband more than once in the last year about various historical situations in my life - "sigh... I didn't know what I didn't know..."

Thi had usually applied more to social/life issues than academic or work issues though...
