    Untitled 2 days ago

    I’m always impressed when I see people’s knitted creations. I’d like to make some beautiful things like blankets, scarves, sweaters, and even stuffed toys.



    Been working on it slowly 3 days ago

    I took a couple classes at my local craft store just to get the hang of it because the pictures in my knitting books were hard to follow. After that it was much easier to follow the books and I taught myself to do different stitches. So far I’ve knit a cabled scarf without too many mistakes. Next I’d like to try socks and then a sweater.



    WakeUpLaughing..! is feeling beautiful today

    I can... 2 weeks ago

    ...crochet with the best of them! I’m slowly but surely learning new stiches and just finished my first afghan. Knitting, however, is completely foreign to me.

    I try to practice on a regular basis, but I don’t seem to be improving yet. My stitches are uneven and I can’t successfully knit the last stitch in a row.

    I’m going to continue practicing, and hopefully will see some improvement soon. My goal is to be able to knit a afghan square (for my knitting club’s Warm Up American afghan) by Christmas. We’ll see!



    Untitled 3 weeks ago

    I’ve always wanted to learn to knit.
    I tried once like twoish years ago.
    I wasn’t that good.
    My aunt, who is a very good at knitting, taught me at a Christmas party.
    I could do the actual knitting part okay…but it wasn’t that pretty.
    Of course my dad, who is good at everything, picked up a set of knitting needles & knitted a perfect little square.
    I will make a scarf someday!
    A good one at that!

    Untitled 3 weeks ago

    I’ve been wanting to learn to knit for a few months now. I tried once when I was a child but my granny wasn’t that much of a good teacher although she herself was a good knitter.
    I’ll try to work on this during the next months. I’d like to knit something for all people who are important to me and I bet my mom would love it.

    Well use to knit when I was younger 1 month ago

    because my mom did, but I never really made anything much and what i did was very basic. Anyway, lately I have really wanted to learn to knit better and make a blanket for myself. I think it would be pretty cool.



    Untitled 1 month ago

    I loveeee knitting. I’m working on my 3rd hat and I just learned a couple weeks ago!



    It's going well... 1 month ago

    I only really started again yesterday after years of wanting to, but not being prepared to really keep on at it.

    Today when I woke up, the first thing I did was pick up my knitting needles and begin to knit, since then I have practised the garter stitch and I am now learning how to do the stockinette stitch! Yay! It looks ok to me anyway! =D

    The one thing I am struggling with at the moment is keeping the tension constant…



    Learn to Knit 1 month ago

    I want to learn to knit this winter. I just read that there are good videos at knittinghelp.com and I know that there is always YouTube.



    Untitled 1 month ago

    My mother-in-law knits so I guess she could teach me. I am always impressed when I see homemade knit baby gifts.
