New Knitting Thread (And spinning) (And crochet too I guess)
missrachel:
I learned to knit over Thanksgiving break, and knitted two scarfs as Christmas presents. :] I like knitting and find it relaxing, and I can do it while doing other things.
Is knitting in the round very difficult? I've been wanting to tackle a hat.
Ladybug:
I find knitting in the round way easier, actually, but I don't know if that's a common thing or not. Once you've joined the ends after casting on, which is basically just knitting them together while making sure nothing is twisted, you just..knit and knit and then maybe purl some if you want ribbing :p And hats are fun to make, I think, because they're usually pretty fast. I still haven't knitted any scarves because I think I'd get tired of it after like 20cm.
I finished my Manly Mitts, btw! I actually really, really like them and want them for myself, but seeing as they're "manly", they're too big for me, obviously. Might make a new pair and modify the pattern a bit, because they're awesomely snug and warm.

So I love QC and all, but this thread is what made me register for the forums.
And it's also making me want to relearn how to knit and crochet. My mom taught me at one point and I had a set of needles, but I have no idea where it all went (probably still at my parent's house). Anyway, there a store down the street that I think has knitting stuff (it's called Country Stitches or something, so it's bound to have SOMETHING... I guess Meijer will if nothing else), so I'll probably go today and pick up replacements.
EDIT: Knitty.com looks pretty much awesome and I requested an invite from Ravelry, so hopefully those two combined will help hold my knitting interest. I really want to make these gloves but I'm VERY rusty so I'll probably start with something easier.
Freddybear:
Here is a pair of crochet gloves which I just finished.
And a little whale:
He needs a mouth but I can't decide how I want to do it.
bluerobin427:
Haha I like them both, especially the whale.
Also, apparently "Country Stitches" is a quilting place :| Oh well.
