I like knitting - I started on scarves, tried to make some kids sweaters. I want to do some more socks but then I think I'll attempt lace. If it works out then I might attempt the socks that Nightshade suggested.
Crocheting is fun and so is knitting once you get the hang of it. It is just going to take some time I think and maybe I will get it and be able to make a scarf or a hat or maybe a sweater too!!

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.

Ditto. Between youtube and the videos on knittinghelp.com I learned pretty much everything I need to know. There's no way I could have learned with someone watching and critiquing me. With videos you can just play them over and over until you get it.

I have read one of her books
I like her!

Wryly 01-26-2011 10:16 AM
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...

lipstixgal 02-11-2011 01:49 PM
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!!

amiyesiam 02-26-2011 12:24 AM

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. :(

Wryly 02-26-2011 10:06 AM
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 realize you must be casting off a pair and a half of stocks or the second half of 3 pairs
but the above cracked me up this morning

I'm glad I wasn't the only one! Three toed socks! :o

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?

actually the most basic fingerless glove is a rectangle that you sew together and leave a hole for your thumb. I made a bunch of pairs recently with big chunky yarn and it only took about an hour and a half to make a pair.
