And believe it or not, all it takes to knit is a little manual dexterity and a lot of practice. Once your fingers know what to do, it becomes almost rote. This one kept throwing new stitch patterns at me, but there are a few absolutely wonderful sites on the internet that go through the different stitches in detail, with pictures and sometimes, video.
If you'd like to learn, I could certainly show you how to get started. It's easiest to start with some sort of rectangle - a scarf, a wrap, an afghan, a baby blanket - so you don't have to worry about seaming and grafting, and possibly not even increases and decreases, and then you pick up more stitches as you get more experienced.
