I haven't picked up my knitting in over a week. This saddens me
Olive knits. Yes.
And twisted trinity.
Knitting a blanket for my friend's baby, due in January at the moment :hyper:
I do :yes:
Although my first love is still sewing. That said, I am crocheting at the mo! I'm craftophrenic, I guess.
ETA: sorry they're huge
Thanks, they're a birthday present for a friend
Me too! The colours are ace
Very nice
The mits are gorgeous. And is that an innocent hat?! They are just so cute
Currently I am making a Forest Path Stole (not my photo). It's hard going. But will be stunning.
Oh yeah.
Yep an innocent hat, RandomGirl recommended it to me to learn how to decrease!
That looks amazing, what is a stole? A throw type thing? It looks fab anyway. It makes my mittens pale in comparison, although I am proud of how the thumbs turned out (only 2 failed thumbs preceded them) I tend to stick to easy, very obviously homemade looking things while I'm learning so I don't get disheartened!
Thumbs are the main reason I don't knit mittens / gloves. I hate hate hate them. Also, you made something from scratch, that is wonderful, wearable and just generally funky, so you should be proud of yourself.
A stole is a huge lace scarf type thing. I'll look for a better photo. Here. Mine is in red but I'm not very far through.
My tendancy is to find projects that are generally ridiculously beyond my skill and work through them, ask loads of questions and eventually succeed (I'm stubborn) so my learning curve is huge. I've only really been knitting (properly) for about 18 months. The greater the project, the more satisfaction I feel at the end.
You should knit socks. Socks are ace. Small projects but such versatility *nods*
And sock yarn is just gorgeous and addictive.
Oh I'm jelous. My grandma tried to teach me to crochet when I was younger but I always managed to miss stitches and everything turned out U looking. Never tried again. You can make such beautiful things crocheting!
And I love the stripey mittens, Kangaroo! Very jelous of your ability to use several colors.
:yes: We should defo have something. There's not really a right forum to talk about knitting, but there's lots of knitters on thesite
I think it's just for old maids. no offence anyone.
That made me laugh out loud. How is that not offensive?!
Anyway, I think the stuff you guys are knitting is wicked, wish I had the patience for it. I might try one day, it must be really rewarding...those stripy gloves are lush :thumb:
What's for old maids?
I thought of you first. Sew cool.
I can't do anything creative like that, I just play computer games :cool:
You're strange
I was just expressing my opinion. It wasn't my intention to offend.
