Yes, it’s something that I’m trying to learn. I have some needles and some yarn, and I’m trying to do it. I have watched a few videos and it’s fun. I’m definitely enjoying it. It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, which I can understand, but I’m having fun doing it. I haven’t done much of it, but it’s something that I’d like to continue.
Does anyone else knit?

When my mother taught my older sister and me to knit, my sister wondered why her scarf wasn't getting any longer. My mom watched her knit and it turned out that my sister was just passing the stitches from one needle to the other without bringing the yarn forward to add to the stitch.

@paigea I would love to join a group to learn some new stitches. My cousin was supposed to come teach me how to do cables, but never has done so.

@ElusiveButterfly hopefully you’re able to join a group and learn a few extra things. It would be pretty cool.

No, I am bad with my hands. My mother tried to teach me a couple of times. I got so frustrated I burst into tears! No knitting for me..but I think most enjoy it. One of the ladies at the yard sale I went to Saturday had several knitted creations she was trying to sell. It is a good little side line business for her I think.

I have done a lot of knitting over the years. At the moment my passion runs more to quilting and sewing.

@Morleyhunt good luck! I’m sure you’ll be able to finish it.

@dodo19 Lately mostly making patchwork quilts on the sewing machine and then hand quilting them. I'm also working on embroidering a quilt front (crib size) to finish in time for next years fair.

My grandmother, mom, and both sisters knit. My mom tried to teach me but that didn't work out to well.

@fishtiger58 not everyone is cut out for it. But it can still be good to learn.

I was taught how to knit, pearl, do embroidery and crochet when I was a child. Haven't done any of it in years.

@dodo19 ....No. I don't have the patience or desire.

I am an avid knitter myself, but I also enjoy crochet, needlepoint, cross stitch, tatting and I would just love to learn how to do needlelace. One of these days I will be sitting down and watch a few videos and read a few books and start doing needlelace. Keep on knitting. It is a great way to relax and at the same time keep your fingers busy,

I definitely will for sure. But you keep those fingers flying and enjoy every minute of it.

No, but my mom used to. I like seeing how people can be really creative when they knit. I attempted to learn cross-stitch once but eventually abandoned that too

I love to knit. It is calming for me. Yesterday I started a hat for my grandson who is due at the end of December. I hope to make a variety of them for him in various sizes and colors. Also need to start a sweater to match the hat I am finishing up.

Good for you! I tried to learn but I would get one row on it- and then when it came to the next row it would always just slide off! It's funny in hind sight but it was pretty frustrating at the moment.
