The two at once is really easy. It was the third thing I did when I learned how to knit. I did a scarf, a sock and then two at once. Once you do it you'll be really pleased with how easy it is and how much it makes people gasp to see you doing it.
Sort of like using dpns in public. I love how people gawk and 'all those needles!' ;) |
I definitely need to get my knitting needles out and practice more!! Then I can learn how to do these things!!
|
I am also a self taught knitter.
once I found the youtube videos I was able to get it. |

I like her! |
She's great. I use her "basic recipe" for socks.
|
Well all it does is snow so I can't get out to get the crochet hooks for the dog blanket yet! Geesh maybe Friday would be good but Thursday no go we are going to have like 6 inches maybe more!!
|
Just started a quick scarf for a birthday..
The price of yarn has gone UP! I may as well order the good stuff with the prices at Wal Mart... |
Still have not been able to get the crochet hooks maybe tomorrow or Monday because I want to crochet a blanket for the dogs to lay on!! Happy knitting or crocheting everyone!!
|
I finished my first sock
I am so happy I have started the second sock! |
I used to crochet yrs back. I just started learning how to knit and I really enjoy it too!
I wish I had brought my needles /yarn with me. :( |
I'm almost finished some socks - I just have to cast off the toe on 3 different ones. Then I want to start on fingerless gloves for my SIL - last week she saw the pair I knit for myself last winter and really loved them. Hopefully I'll be done these while it is still cold!
My sister is crocheting a hat for herself - I'm tired of her stealing one I bought myself so I got her yarn to make her own. |
I have a client who was knitting in the waiting room yesterday before our appointment. She said she was making "arm warmers". Said they are back in style. (?)

Sorry, I know nothing about knitting, but this is what arm warmers are. |

I've been thinking about fingerless gloves. I really want fingerless gloves. I think I NEED fingerless gloves. I may have the perfect yarn for fingerless gloves. I just don't know if I have the skills. Anyone have a fingerless glove pattern for knitting noobs who aren't so good are knitting much besides squares and rectangles with fringe? |

Thanks for the link! I like the look of those but I'm intimidated just reading about them. I'm about a dozen rows into Ami's rectangle idea and loving the way this yarn feels in my hands. |
I'm so happy that people like this thread and can share patterns and what not about knitting and crocheting!! Its great..
|
Quick, simple and exactly what I wanted. Now I want to try it with sock yarn!
Ami - Thank you! :) http://gaylaworrell.com/images/fg1.jpghttp://gaylaworrell.com/images/fg2.jpg |
I knit.
I have made 1 blue and orange striped garter stitch scarf. 1 button tabbed hat 1 hat with ears and tassles 2 Knitted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I am working on a scarf for my Mom Not the most butch hobby ever but fun. |
i knit and crochet.
knitted a hat and a scarf in rainbow colours, and as soon as I get my hands fixed I'll be continuing to knit a blanket I started a year and a half ago |
I agree, knitting is super fun. I totally think its butchly though, because in my head I'm like: I made this! With sharp objects!
I don't know how that's butch, actually, but it makes sense to me. So far, I am working on rectangles, and I am making a checkerboard patterned rectangle that's really bright. Before this I was working on interpretative rectangles, which means that I was trying to make rectangles but they weren't coming out rectangular. One day I hope to knit a circle. ;-) |
I teach knitting at my school (apart from French and Latin!) and I have boys in the classes, they love it, also some male teachers have come for instruction, so I think knitting butches make total sense! Sharp objects indeed, I always caution the kids, and besides, one can always use one's Swiss Army knife to cut yarn, can't one?
Couple of years ago I had a very butch middle schooler in knitting, and she was very good so she got to the point she could make a tank top (regular project for the girls at this point) but knowing how she loved boys' clothing, I told her she could make a vest instead, and that I would get other colours for her (we seemed to have an abundance of pastel!)......and she said very loudly : Yesssssssss!!!! Elle* |
Ok I am now into making these, They are fun to make! They are for baby photographers.

stringy lil bumparoo!
I'm a knitter n spinner. I'm not very good. But I have fun! |
I love knitting (and a little bit of crochet)
Although I must admit I haven't done much this winter (I'm in the southern hemisphere, and baby it's cold outside). But I'm almost at the end of renovations and haven't been inspired due to the mess. I'm on Ravelry, but haven't been there much lately either.

any of you folks into yarnbombing?!! I think it is the coolest movement evah and it just may provoke me to learn some stitchery....:seeingstars:

I've done a bit of yarn bombing, but have no pics handy... I'll try to remember to take some photos next time.
|
down time in between classes, watching t.v. or sitting in the chemo clinic are the best times for me to work with my hands. :) i found a great pattern for a 5&1/2 hour crocheted blanket and am *trying* to make as many as i can to give away as christmas presents. i also subscribe to lionbrandyarn.com and they send out free weekly patterns for all sorts of yarn derived crafting. i have also gotten back into beading and have made some pretty neat jewelry! i just love to create special things with my hands. :)
