Greekchat Knitter's Circle

[wrigley]

I stopped by the yarn shop and bought size 6 circular and wool yarn for a hat. I haven't used circular ones before, I hope it goes smoothly.

Do you have a counter? Record your rows on your counter, or at least on paper, otherwise you will get lost.

wow - how did i miss this thread?

i taught myself how to knit a year ago and have been at it ever since. after several scarves, i'm finishing up a baby blanket now. i also just made fingerless mittens for 3 people (for xmas) and for myself. after i'm done with the blanket, i have another one to knit up quickly as my friend is due in march. plus i want to make a felted bag for myself.

i love circular needles and dont really use straights any more. so if anyone has questions, feel free to ask.

for those of you with scrap yarn, please consider joining in this effort: http://www.savethechildren.org/publi...orts/kit11.pdf

I knit, and crochet, but my first love is tatting. You may have known your grandmothers or aunts or other older relatives who tat, but I can assure you that tatting is not a lost art! It's a nice, portable craft and it makes lovely lace.

I also do bobbin lace and have tried some needle lace, but I always come back to my shuttles.

I must have missed this thread, too! I love to knit. I'm hurrying to finished a scarf for my mother-in-law for Christmas, and I have a charcoal scarf in the works for my husband.

Knitting blogs are cool!
