Well done, you're making good progress! Picking up stitches needs patience, but can be done. Some knitters refer to undoing their work as 'tinking' - 'tink' is knit spelt backwards. None of us likes to have to do that too often!
Are you working on any particular project?
I hope you continue to enjoy the craft.

Left off sock knitting for the summer. But now...
Has anyone ever knitted or crocheted with 'plarn?'. Plastic bag yarn? I didn' know this existed, now I want to make a shopping bag out of it.
There are a lot of pretty good YouTube tutorials.
I found instructions for that - hadn't heard it referred to as plarn - and started cutting the strips off the bags and joining them together, but gave up in the end and cleared all the strips out. Did you manage to make a shopping bag?

I hadn't heard of it being called tinking. Thanks for the unoffical wordI'm working on a scarf right now, though its more of a practice scarf until I get more stitches made. I haven't worked on it in a week, so hopefully I can do some this weekend.
Not yet...I'm still making plastic strips. Thanks for asking!
I love knitting too - it is very relaxing. But I have knitted since my kids were born (4 years now)... I really should pick it up again! It seems like a lot of people in this thread are having the same problem as I am finding the time!
Hi Gillian, nice you are still around.
With some of the old posts I am not sure if the original posters of threads are still participating......
There are many things that suit me since I have many and varied interests.
I don`t think that there is much interest in crocheting or knitting, although people who get really into it often are very enthusiastic about it.
As a newbie I am rather reluctant to start threads, although I might eventually.

Oh yes, I'm still around all right Nota. The problem with knitters and crocheters, especially on Christian sites, for some reason, is that they don't seem to want to talk about it very much. You shouldn't let your status as a newbie put you off starting a thread - you've probably been around longer than I have!

Nota is right, it is very difficult to sell handmade stuff, but I like to think that I am blessing someone when I knit something for them.I love to knit and crochet. I make a lot of dish cloths, it helps me to relax. I want to sell them, but I am not sure I can. I usually end up giving them away. I would like to make enough to pay for themselves, but, if I end up gifting them, at least I enjoyed making them and someone can use them!!!
Maka, just keep on trying and practising and you`ll get better at it every time.
Knitted blankets/afghans are cool....there are lots of patterns for them too.
I am a crochet freak, knitting isn`t my thing.
But both are beautiful.

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?
Gillian
I do!!!! I love doin the french knitting but dont know how to end it like to tie it off from coming undone.
I learned how to knit about a year and a half ago. I'm not very good, but I did make a really nice scarf. ^^ I tried making a blanket but it didn't go so well. Maybe someday I'll try again.

I used to knit a lot of baby sweaters and hats. Every time I gave a sweater to my friend for her latest addition (she had 4 babies almost back to back), she would insist that I should sell my work. I always said that if I knitted for profit, it wouldn't be as fun and relaxing anymore.
