Being a creative and domestic post modern

I do not want to be as post modern as I am. I WANT to bake bread for my family daily and knit and create beautiful things to give as gifts. Yikes. My family likes store bought bread better for sandwiches and toast. I have been taught by my mom to knit many times, but have yet to really get it. I was using my hubby's IPOD to surf the web to find instructions on how to knit and having a lot of difficulty knitting. Argh.
