Ok, so I may not be the fastest knitter in the world but I can knit & I enjoy it...I want to add to my online store but I have limited time when it comes to doing my crafts...besides squares, can you name some things that are quick & easy to knit? I have loads of patterns so that's not a problem.

My mom just printed a pattern for fingerless gloves. She's making some for me. If you can figure out how to use... i think they're called double-sided needles?, then the pattern is really simple. My mom isn't very fast either, but she likes knitting, and so do i. I think gloves would be a cool thing to have in your store :]

They would also be fairly quick wouldn't they? Do you mean rocket needles (the ones that are 15mm +)?

I agree with the poster who mentioned fingerless gloves. Another thing that would be quick would be to knit hats.

I never thought of hats - they would be great for the cooler weather

I don't have the vision to follow a pattern, but I have knit a lot of scarves. I love knitting scarves.

Hi moonchild, I confess, I have never learnt to knit, have no wish to learn to knit and thus have never knitted anything. I would think that a scarf would be the easiest thing to knit as it has no sleeves.
They are also very popular in cold countries.

This is true - they would also sell here in Australia for the colder places like Tasmania & people going on holiday to the snow...This could be popular if I sell worldwide too coz then I could make them year round.

I'm 11 years old & I think a scarf is the easist thing to knit I would recommend 6mm or 7mm knitting needles with frilly wool because it fast to knit and it looks REALLY good (p.s people think it must take ages bcause it looks complicated but in reality it took me bout 6 hours to knit a scarf 4 my mam I hope I helped
