knitting

Hi,

Does anyone here love to knit? I do. I started knitting when I was very ill with a tumor. I have just finished my first big sweater. I am hoping now to start knitting hats for premies and cancer patients.

How sweet. I don't knit, but I crochet, which is kinda close to kitting.

I used to knit a long time ago. Now I crochet mostly. Sorry to hear about your tumor, and hope that is long gone now.

Welcome to Christianforums,

I hope you enjoy visiting here as much as I do.

I learned to knit about a year ago or so, I love doing it. I've thought about joining a shawl ministry that I found out about here on this forum.
To be honest, I've knitted afghans and scarves so far, my next thing to learn are mittens. I also would like to learn to crochet.

God Bless,

I got a knitting kit for Christmas. But I'm still not sure how to do it. My mom used to knit all the time. But she can't remember. So I'm just in a pickle.

Sorry to hear that your ill. I hope things will work out for you. I love to knitt and crochet as well. I have made sweaters, afagans from baby size up to queen size. right now I'm crocheting a blanket for a good friend of mine who is getting married.

thats so cool daria,you're giving them something so special.you gave me the incentive to start knitting cancer patient hats too now. i knit 25 % of the time as i luv my crocheting. i knitted for a year! everything! i had so much yarn,so many patterns,needles etc i got confused with what to make and had 3 projects going at once. i will start back up on hats though since reading your post.

I like to knit!
I've made scarves, hats, and mitts, and more recently, dish cloths. I love making dishcloths cuz they're so quick (you feel like you're getting somewhere) and easy plus, they are very useful and I like them better than cloth ones.

Good lord forgive me...I love knitting so much I sometimes fear it borders on yarnolatry lol. And being a male knitter is even more weird, you should see the looks I get where I live when I start knitting lol.

I just started knitting. I am in the process of knitting a halter top. I am getting nervious as I get closer decreasing and also to where I have to make the V-neck. Need help. What tools will I need? I'm working with circular needles. I'm only working with the front side now.

Do you know about the shawl ministry that is involved in knitting shawls for the sick? I am interested. They have a web site

I would love to learn to knit, but I have no idea where to start. My sister suggested a good book to start with, but they are out of stock on Amazon.com. Anyone else have any ideas? I love to watch movies in the evening but find I need something for my hands to do other than snack on food. My hips are big enough as is!

I make quilts for the children at the local children's hospital so that they have a little something soft to cuddle with in the long hours they have to go through, but the sewing machine is loud and I can't afford a newer quiet one. Not that the old one isn't a great sewing machine anyhow. Much better (read: I already am used to this one and don't like change) than any of the "new" models. But I'd love to learn to knit as well. Needlepoint needs too much attention for my liking, as I seem to enjoy multi-tasking.

So if anyone could suggest a good kit, book or video that could help me out... that would be awesome.
