New Knitting Thread (And spinning) (And crochet too I guess)

Did you knit that in the round or in one block and seam the sides? The embroidery and buttons give a nice touch. :)

The way I learned to knit was first from a person: she showed me how to cast on and how to do garter stitch (your most basic stitch). I made a bunch of scarves this way until I mastered it and then I moved on to hats and knitting in the round. That knitting site Yelley posted is really helpful (and free!) and you can also find all sorts of free patterns online as well. Knitting hats isn't too hard and double pointed needles aren't hard to use, either. Hats are fun! Just find some patterns you like and go shopping for yarn and needles!

I started making some socks! This is my first pair and they're coming along nicely. I started with this pattern because it didn't look to complicated and it isn't, so I think I'm going to go shopping for some sock yarn and find a more complicated pattern.



Yelley, do you know how to prevent holes on the sides of the heel? I picked up extra stitches like the pattern suggested, but I guess I picked up ones in the wrong spot as there are still small holes.

yelley:
yay socks! yesh, you should twist the stitches that you pick up to close up the holes. knit them in the back loops and the holes will be smaller.

i knit it in round for 7 inches then used 3 needle bind off. the seam is sort of noticeable, but i don't know how to graft in seed stitch and i was too lazy to learn. ^_^

Liz:
This is quite possibly the greatest thing I have ever seen.

Hmmm

I'm gonna try knitting scarves first n.n"

I'm gonna go out with some friends and get some yarn/wool/thread whatever is cheap!

then I'll knit some really basic scarves from that site you sent me (thanks for that n.n)

I'm really excited

Thank you :3

Knitting is faaaaar harder than i thought :(

I can cast on well

I just can't knit

Practice! When you're first starting out, it isn't easy, but once you get the hang of it, it really isn't. More than anything, it's knowing how to hold stuff and how to position your hands.
