There's a whole subforum for this kind of question, and I have moved your post there. Good luck.

One way or another you're going to need to learn to use a 3D modeling program if you want to make parts (you mentioned Blender so I'm assuming you want to make parts). Blender is a steep learning curve but there are lots of online tutorials. Another route is to use Wings - I'm not sure how much easier that is as I don't use that myself - there are some tutorials for that and I think Beale(?) made some specifically for KSP parts - sorry but I don't have the links - shouldn't be too hard to Google. Once you get a model made by whatever means, you need to get it in game. You can do this by running it through Unity (Should be online tutorials - event the old ones should still be good) or, if you're using Blender, there's a direct Blender to KSP .mu format converter that some people use. Any way you look at it there's a lot to learn/figure out but when you get that first part in game it's a real rush.

The wiki has a decent set of tutorials. There are also some solid YouTube playlists and walkthroughs. That having been said, a number of the above are little out of date (API references, etc.). I plan on putting some time into update some of those wiki pages, in particular, in the near future.

If you are still interested, I made an entire guide as to how to make a part for ksp.
