View Full Version : I finally learned to KNIT!
Two days ago I bought some needles and, thanks to YouTube videos, started knitting!
For over a year I have been wanting to learn to knit- so I could make myself some scarves. Last Christmas I bought a KniftyKnitter small round loom and Hated it. I never picked it up again after the first attempt. I realized I don't want a tube, I want a flat scarf.
I have had so much fun learning various stitches. I have been practicing with different yarn and fiber combinations out of my fiber swap stash to see what they look like together.
I thought I would like a yarn and Fun Fur blend; it looks so delicate on its own, but Boy- it really takes over in a scarf. FUR is right!
Soooo, I think I will stick with a fluffy yarn, or maybe add eyelash for texture. I don't care for the eyelash much by itself in SBing, but it sure looks neat knitted in with yarn.
Welcome Knitter! I knit because it is fun, I enjoy doing it and love the projects I make.
I have been knitting for over 50 years, so if you have questions, ask away!
Welcome to the knit club! I too have been knitting for awhile. I do love it but I don't do that much anymore cause of time. But you can have a wide range of those fun scarfs with all kinds of yarn. I have made a punch of them for gifts. And I do the simple knit dish cloth.
Goodie for YOU!!!! What fun to learn something new and enjoy it.
Maybe you could make a small purse with 1 skein.
I still never made my socks.
oooh, a purse would be fun!
Congrtats! It's so nice to to sit down and work with yarn. I can knit and crochet but I prefer crochet. It's so nice to make an afghan this time of year.
I love the knitted washcloths. I knitted an hand towel that I still use. I wonder if you could knit flowers? I know you can crochet them.
I did make a purse with wool yarn and felt it. That was fun! Try one of those with 1 skein.
CONGRATS!! I'm so excited for you!! I've always wanted to learn how to knit, i've crocheted some and 'started' several projects and never finished them! :) hahaha!
Found another idea in the J's flyer. They had knitted "baby blocks". Each side of the blocks were a different stitch pattern and different colors. I thought a bunch of these would look cute in a basket. You could even use fabric scraps with the knitted pieces.
