    Missed signing up for the summer class, bummer. But I mentioned it to my mom and it turns out she can knit and might have some stuff in a closet somewhere to teach me with. :)

    I used to stroll around the knitting club in high school but my attention was not so much on the knitting. I was just cleaning out my closet and theres my old knitting needles and a few spools of yarn. At first I thought, hmm, wow. And then it was I owe it to myself to spin something.



    knitting... 3 days ago

    A few years ago I can remember absent-mindedly knitting a few disastrously-put-together scarves. I never learnt how to put the wool on the needles, though… I just did the basic purl motion, and then someone helped me finish it and put tassles on the end.

    I had the notion that knitting might help me relax and keep my hands busy.

    I bought “The Dummies Guide to Knitting” and I was doing pretty well but I stopped. I need to get my stuff from home and work on it. I want to be the crazy lady at the softball games knitting. =)

    I’m almost done with the scarf. Meanwhile I’m also practicing garter stitch and k2p2 ribbing…

    Found awesome pattern for a cap with ears, really looking forward to having a go at it! :D

    I’m knitting now, but only very basic garter stitch. My current project is a very colorful scarf, a practice piece. won’t consider this done until i have completed a more complicated article of clothing that demostrates more skill than just basic competancy.

    Great hobby! 1 week ago

    I’m so glad my friend taught me to crochet years ago and that I went on to learn to knit afterward. It’s a great hobby that allows me to put my creative mind to work. I also have tied it in with my other love, film watching, by doing both at once. It’s excellent to have things you’ve made yourself, too. What an accessible hobby.

    I already know how to crochet and sew. I’ve made quilts, crocheted blankets, hooked rugs. I want to learn how to knit so that I may use the material I really love, the designs and patterns that are beautiful, etc…



    Making Progress! 2 weeks ago

    I actually knitted myself a sweater this past winter!!! I haven’t started doing more difficult things like cables, but I’ve gotten pretty good at the basics. One of my friends has been teaching me to knit. I’m not doing much crafting now that it’s summer, but will likely start back again when the weather turns cooler.

    Untitled 3 weeks ago

    I love crafts of all kinds and am constantly tempted to knit. I used to knit about the age of ten and then just dropped it, time to get back on the wagon in time for winter markets- I’m thinking leg warmers and fingerless gloves will be a good start…

    here looks like a good starting place to learn…
