I crochet and knit, but I prefer crocheting, I'm faster at it ! lol0

Love to knit, especially in cool weather, but I've been putting most of my yarn time into MFP, yoga and walking for the last 7 months and doing pretty well with slow but steady weight loss. Interweave Fall just came today, and I'm itching to dig into my stash - just have to find a balance to keep from getting sedentary.
Any other knitting MFP people, please feel free to friend me!0 -
I made matching blankets when my daughter was 5 and I was pregnant with my son. One for her bed and one for his crib since they shared a room in the beginning. I made a blanket for my mother, that made her cry since she didn't expect it. I made a baby blanket for my neice that had her name crocheted into it. I have one on my couch right now to cover the damages.
I've made doilies, slippers, scarves (most recent scarf was for superbowl last year with the packers colours - crocheted in one evening! lol), hats, etc, etc.
I guess I've made alot over the years!! I started when I was 14, so I've had LOTS of practice!!0 -
Im learning...I knit a scarf last year.....it wasn't straight and it had a couple holes....but my hubby proudly wore it anyway!! LOL
If anyone one has any website suggestions for beginners..I would love the advice!0 -
I'm bi-stitchual (I knit and crochet.) There are lots of knitters on MFP!
ETA: My favorite site is www.ravelry.com where I use the same screen name. I have a few MFP friends on both sites which is awesome! For learning I also like www.knittinghelp.com. They have a lot of helpful videos so if you don't know how to do a technique and have no one to ask go there! Very helpful and they even have an iPhone app.0 -
I'm a newbie knitter. I taught myself this year and have completed a hat, a scarf, and a baby blanket. Would love to do a lace shawl next but a bit nervous about tackling something with a more complicated pattern.0

Yup - spiral on ravelry here. I have an XL men's cable knit cardigan on the needles that's been there forever, and a button bracelet, plus socks that have been languishing forever...0

I knit and crochet, and I'm on ravelry as well, but haven't done anything more than look for a few patterns on there in several months. I broke my finger TWICE, had to have pins put in it, and then had occupational therapy afterwards. It kinda' put a damper on me doing any stitching for quite a while! It was too hot to work outside today, so I *JUST* started working on the sweater I was working on before I broke my finger.0

I'm a knit and fibre fiend too, and have joined up to the Ravelry group - thanks so much for starting it. Creativity is an important part of my life as I'm physically limited by health problems. MFP is helping me lose weight even though exercising is difficult. I always have something on the go, knitting and/or knitting wise. I feel uncomfortable if I don't have a project to work on.0

I sort of knit...I make chainmail, so I'm a steel knitter
Thanks! It does take some patience, of course. Here is a haloween costume I did for my son a few years back:
Ok, apparently I need to read on how to post pics...0 -

So cool!
We made stage chain mail out of silver twine rather than metal so it would be lighter.0 -
Oh yes...... although now I am battling the time between the exercise and the knitting.... if only I could figure out how to walk and knit at the same time....0

just thought i'd pop in and say hi to my fellow knit-wits! :bigsmile: seriously, there's nothing at the store that can compare to a nice knitted dishcloth... or a knitted washcloth made with bamboo yarn.
i've been crocheting rag rugs out of old sheets lately too! talk about an arm workout! :noway:0
