How do I get started doing amigurum?

If you know anyone who knows how to knit or crochet, by all means ask them for help. Most people who do these things are happy to show you or help you get started. If you bring your knitting stuff and try it at work, or at school, on your breaks or at lunch, you may find that people who knit or crochet will approach you, and offer advice. Maybe someone in your family can help you learn. You may be surprised how many knitters or crocheters you already know.
