I've been reading in this thread awhile and you all are so very talented. You are all very amazing.

I have zero crafting talent in my bones. BUT, i wanted to start doing something. So i'm gonna try and knit a scarf for Bully.

I got a "kit" that has needles and some other things i have no clue what they are and a book and CD.

I got two bundles of yarn.

So far that's all i know. I'm getting ready to get into it tonight though. I'm so excited!!!!

Thanks for this thread and all that post here. You give someone like me real hope.

Yay for you! A knitting virgin? Well i can tell you that i tried once to knit something, and i wanted to stab myself in the forehead with the needle by the time i was done.

So i crochet, big easy blankets and scarfs.

THEN my friend came over and showed me how to knit! WOW it's much easier for me with someone showing me.

IMO there is something special about something someone made, like someone once said to me, *it's part of your life*

and when i make something for someone i put much energy and thought into it for them, so when they use it they get all of that good juju along with it.

Corny eh?
