Ideas for Knitting

Arwen · 11-09-2009, 11:38 PM

Little brother, if Rosie Grier can needlepoint, you can knit to your heart's content. I would be amazingly touched if someone took the time to knit me a sweater, crochet me a blanket, any of that. Gender/label/id....who cares! The idea that anyone would take that time would be what counted.

I have a little ceramic heart I got from Diva a year or so ago. I treasure it. Not just because it is incredibly artistic, but because it was made and given with love. It was one of the first things I unpacked and put out today.

That's what counts in the end. Love.

Arwen, thank you for that post. It was so well said.

Are you familiar with Lion Brand yarn? They have a newsletter that offers free patterns among other things. I have a ton of their free patterns saved--not that I've actually WORKED on any of them.

Pixie is a crocheter and I am going to get her to help me learn more. I have found the huge granny squares that I've been working on for a blanket. I'm going to start on that again.

I love granny squares but I have to reteach myself how to do them EVERY TIME. sigh.

So Linus, can this thread be about knitting and crocheting and tatting and all those fun fiber arts or should we start one for that specifically?

By all means, use this as a knitting thread.

If we all share, then we all benefit.
