Any Knitters?

[NIrelandGillian]

Actually I'm into lots of things. I'd like to use it to keep all my crafting stuff and books, and some of the things I made that really don't "go" in the house. Completely different world in there. If I ever get it.

My husband is in the process of moving my yarn into the attic. Not sure how I feel about that. But it's dry up there, and just about all my yarn is sealed in plastic, then packed in boxes.

Really though, I need to find new ways to use it, or else an outlet to sell it or give it away. I used to specialize in "fibers" of many types, so they tend to be more unusual yarns, so more suitable for crafting than knitting. And in too small of quantities, most of them, for major knitting projects.

I'm thinking of getting into some more "fiber arts" ... I've seen really cool things done on large canvases. Though .... what I'd do with them when completed, I have no idea, LOL.

Not sure how I would feel about it either - it would depend on how accessible your attic is.

This is in the States, right? (not Northern Ireland).

Did you ever go to the Linen Museum in Lisburn, Co. Antrim, btw?

I knit...just blankets really. But I haven't picked up my knitting needles in a long time. I started to work on a baby blanket for my niece before she was born. Then I got into grad school and ran out of time for knitting...and now my niece is just over two years old. I'm thinking of making 2 similar size blankets and then binding them together, hopefully before her 3rd birthday!

A blanket is a lovely thing to knit - especially for a baby. Joining two small blankets together sounds like a good idea.

Me! I knit. I usually invent most of my own patterns. I'm a math major... it's not THAT hard.

Mielke Fiber Arts is a website based in Wisconsin. It covers a large variety of crafts and is quite fascinating.

No, I haven't been to the Linen Museum. I have passed it many times on my way to other places, but have yet to make a point of visiting it.

What are you knitting now pugmama?

 

[Pugmama]

I just cast on for some socks last night. I'm just doing some plain socks trying to get my knitting groove back. I am using some self-striping yarn I picked up at Hobby Lobby ages ago on clearance.

It should be easy for a math major. It must be handy to have your own patterns and not have to go looking for them when you want to knit something.
