Some of you know we from the sewing forum as well as the weight loss forum, but I have never posted or even lurked here before until today.
I have a good friend that has been knitting for a year+ now and she had made so many cool projects and she inspires me. I have wanted to learn how to knit for a long, long time now, but have really lacked the time to teach myself.
My MIL tried to teach me to crochet and I make one line of stitches, but she never taught me how to add to it.
Yesterday, I bought a little kit and between it and a Debbie Bliss, Learn to Knit book my grandmother gave me, I taught myself to at least cast on, and knit rows. Don't know how to finish it off yet, but I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there.
My first project is a scarf that will have 3 different types of stitches, I guess that it is supposed to help you practice. I don't like the yarn that came with the kit, because it is acrylic and personal natural preference aside, it is itchy to knit with. I bought some Debbie Bliss cashmerino off eBay, as well as I plan to go back to Hancock's (really the only game in town), and see if they have any 100% cotton yarn. I would *really* like to learn to knit socks. The thought of warm wooly socks really excites me, LOL!
Anyway, that is my story, and I appreciate you letting me share it.
My Intro
Hey Stacey, welcome! I love to crochet and knit and currently that's what everyone is getting this christmas either something knit or crochet. Binding of is a cinch so when you get there if you need help, just let us know, there are some pros here (not me, I stick to the simple, but I could help w/binding off LOL)
