I am so cutting edge! I taught myself to knit and crochet over a year ago :-)

The nuns did their best to teach me to knit, but their endeavors were for naught.
I can’t sew or knit. :)
I do admire those who can, however.
So’s paying for groceries with change.
I taught myself many years ago to knit and crochet. It was one way I was able to quit biting my fingernails. No kidding!
I knit all the time, if we get in the car to take a trip my knitting goes along. I have made so many house slippers I can’t even guess the number. My granddaughter sells them to her friends. My grandson wore them under his basketball shoes.
Knitting needles can be very effective flechettes in an air pistol.
I love to knit! I make hats, scarves, mittens, slippers. They are always a hit with my neices/nephews. I’m working on a shawl for my mother-in-law - I got the pattern here: http://jaslamb.weebly.com/candlelight-shawl.html
only with yarn and not tribbles!
reupholstering should become big also, very cost effective compared to buying new.
Good to see one useful hobby making a comeback. It was our family tradition to teach knitting to daughters and I failed to keep it going.
Grabbed my needles a few years ago - I had forgotten how relaxing and rewarding it is.

Can shirts, and pants be ‘knitted’ at home? Why pay money to China, if you can make a shirt domestically and personally?
people are finding out they can save a lot of money
My mother tried to teach me to crochet for many years when I was growing up. I finally bought a little book which included crocheting, knitting, embroidery and tatting. I taught myself to crochet that year which was in 69 and a few years later taught myself to knit. I have made many baby gifts, afghans, caps, etc since that time. I do not know why I could not learn from my mother. The first thing I crocheted was supposed to have been a sweater for my then 3 year old daughter but it was so tight that it ended up fitting her doll. I am much better nowadays though. It just takes practice.
my grandma taught me the basic crochet stitch when i was about 11 or 12 yrs old. i have never managed to get the hang of any other stitch. i wish i could. i wish i could knit too. i would love to be able to make sweaters.
who knew you were so AU COURANT!! ; )
If you have elderly relatives, try making them knee warmers...they work great for those who have had knees replaced. I used sock yarn and put some skinny elastic in the top and bottom to hold them up for my hubby. Or elbow warmers. They both are just simple tubes. I have fingerless hand mitts, to keep my hands warm in the winter. It also keeps the pain level down. I quilt mostly, knit and crochet a little.
