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.
I know what you mean about fabric shops. There are some good ones that do mail order, but nothing beats walking through the shop, picking out and feeling the fabric...
well it's plain to see that I can't compete with anyone on this thread. I re-taught myself how to knit and made several scarves last winter with that new fun yarn.
That's about as far as I can go. That's all the talent I had.
