VRWKNC Ping! Weekend Chat!
...and I'm Sewing in a Snit. LOL Your screen name is great.
What exactly do we do here?
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.
Hey, this is kinda cool. CAn you put me on your ping list? So, this is a whole weekend thing, huh. Cool!
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?
Seriously...I wish someone would teach me how to crochet. I need a hobby. |
