Hi everyone! I am so glad I can talk with others who like to crochet & knit! I am learning to knit from a neighbor of mine. Once a week, I go to her house and for 2-3 hours we knit. I know how to cast on, knit & purl. The first item I am making is a knit purse, to be felted to cover my mistakes. I am about half way through the purse. Once finished, I will post pics. But like I said, we meet once a week so it will be a while. The other days I am crocheting.

 

I want to do socks next......Hmmm, I'm up to the challenge.

I'm I'm a super beginner, I only knit scarves...no ambition for now but I love being able to use eyelash yarns and homespun and not have to worry about not being able to see my previous stitches...much easier work with when knitting than crochet and that's all the experience I have but it's very relaxing...I hope to learn something more from this group...and thank you Amy!

Once I get my current projects under control I hope to begin practicing with the "pointy sticks"...I'd love to be able to make some baby blakets for Project Linus using a Lion Brand pattern I downloaded.

Hi everyone! I've been knitting since I was 7, my grandma only knit. It was something she and I did together every weekend. I was slow going until about a year ago when everyone I knew started having babies! I have all my grandmas needles now since she passed away a couple of years ago, so I've been getting pretty good at it! I still stick to fairly simple patterns but I love the way they come out!

Jessica, your blog shows your work beautifully!! ...and the women in my family crocheted, so my DNA was hard-wired to do that first! I'm like you - I just love the way some things look when they're knitted.

Hello folks

A big thank you to Amy for adding this area . I just now found out about it thanks to Linda Y ~~

 

I havent takent the time yet to read through all the posts, but it does sound like my type of area. I see a few familiar names here . I am like the one girl who said she has been a beginner for 20 years. Sounds a lot like me !

Here's hoping that this new area with the help of others will be just the ticket I need to help me learn a little more .

 

I can do the basics- Cast on, knit and purl ,but nothing beyond that yet .

I just joined today as well--I had no idea there was a new knitting section here! That'll teach me to read the announcements occasionally.

 

I had two knitting lessons from my grandmother when I was 10, but that's more than twenty years ago now. I got a knitting book from the library a couple of weeks ago and my daughter and I learned (re-learned, in my case) how to cast on, knit, and purl. I like the "continental" style--I had never done it before and it feels really great. (I'm a lefty.) Knitting kind of scares me because it seems so hard, but I am sure crocheting was like that for me at first. Glad to join you wonderful people!
