I'm here in Orlando..working on an afgan knitted with Manos yarn. The afgan consists of 12 blocks..each one different a pattern. I also knitted up a sweater for my toddler this week but am stuck on the knitting the straps which require working with 3 double pointed needles. I'm fairly new to knitting. I did find one knitting store in Orlando and go every Saturday and knit with beginners so I hope to get some instruction on the straps tomorrow. I just relocated here in June from RI. I miss the knitting shops at home. I also love to sew but have been very discouraged by the lack of places to buy quality fabic or find what I am looking for.

Hi, I'm new to you guys. This is my first night to get on and talk to anyone. I'm usually over at the politcal boards screaming a trolls. This is so nice to have a place to come and not have the blood pressure go up.

OK, I'm just teaching myself how to knit lace. Has anyone out there tried that?

What a cool idea!
I don't have a creative bone in my body and have to do everything by shortcuts, so I think I can learn or thing or two here. I'm working on a baby blanket for my 6 month-old (our last of 4 children) and I'm using one of those 'Nifty Nitters' I know the spelling is off but I think that's how the brand spells it. It's a big circle with pegs on it. It's not traditional knitting, but it's the best I can do. I've tried knitting with needles several times but I am such a spas, I don't keep the tension right and one row is loose then the other is too tight and on and on.

Anyway,,,glad to be here!

So, can I be part of "the Circle" if I knit in a circle?
