Any Knitters?

[NIrelandGillian]

I love knitting, but don't get doing it as much as I would like. My current project is a cowl in fuzzy yarn for my daughter. Does anyone else here enjoy knitting?

I knit too. I'm currently working on a shrug...just need to sew up the sleeves and hem.

I love knitting and haven't done it in a while now either.
Just yesterday while wearing my Irish Knit hooded pullover (I made eons ago), I thought I might like to do up an Irish Knit cardigan sometime soon

I need to learn. I know how to crochet but I believe its time to add a new skill to my crafty belt. Does anyone know where I can find some beginner tutorials? I like to follow video tutorials. It's easier for me to follow.

Hi

Just google 'youtube how to knit' &/or search youtube itself.
My google search came up with these links, so it seems there are a lot of tutorials out there

Included are pics of my 2 Irish Knit sweaters (made years ago); one is hooded with a top button and pockets.

I really should do a cardigan; it has been years but should all come back to me

Sorry, I haven't checked this thread for a while. I've been working on the shrug on and off and it still isn't finished yet.

I had several years away from knitting and a shrug was the first thing I knit on my return. When I had finished knitting it, I couldn't figure out for a while how to put it on lol.

Ooh, I love knitting too. It's really quite therapeutic when one gets into the rhythm. I haven't made anything particularly earth-shattering as of yet sorry but I plan to learn how to do knitted bags soon.

Let us know how you get on! I have been working on and off on the same cardi for several years. I must try and get it finished this summer.

knittinghelp.com has some helpful videos.

Yeah, I will....I get psyched and then lose interest
One of these days I will pick up the needles again

I'm an avid sock-knitter, though my first pair took me six months to complete and each sock was a totally different size, lol. Then I laboriously invented a couple of ways to knit socks in pieces on straight needles, now I'm busy learning toe-up method.

I have a sock-and-fountain-pen blog. Because naturally the two go together.

 

[servant of Merciful Love]

I have never made socks (just crocheted sock slippers).
Do you make them from wool yarns or acrylic?
Perhaps when your post count is up, you can post pics of your creations?

A long time ago I knit a pair of socks on dpns for a Girl Guide badge. I don't believe I ever wore them, but I haven't knit a pair since. My daughter gave me a sock-knitting kit for Christmas 2010 and I am still winding the skeins into balls lol. I don't wear socks myself and I think that is the reason why I'm not in any rush to knit any. I'd like to try knitting a pair on 2 straight needles sometime. Kelly Klem the knitting designer has patterns for socks done tubular style, which is different again.

Hi tjg, welcome to the forum! So glad you enjoy knitting. School does get in the way of it a bit, doesn't it? I used to do most of my knitting in the school holidays.

Hi! It's been a while since I've peeked into this particular thread. I've completed the shrug but have to figure out how to post a picture onto this site...I haven't done that before. I'll try to get it up soon.

 

[InfinityandBeyond]

I wish I had finished project pictures to post.
Of course, that would require me to finish one of many knitting projects...
