Do you enjoy knitting?

That blanket is gorgeous, oldchem! Please post a photo of it when you've finished, pretty please? I LOVE seeing things like this that people have made. Yes, I knit from way back. I was taught when I was around 12 years old by a neighbor because my mother never did learn. My mother could crochet, but only in the "granny stitch" pattern. She never bothered to learn any other stitches, which is a shame. I knitted sweaters for everyone in my immediate family one year, a loooooooooong time ago, before kids and too many other responsibilities got in the way. I've always loved knitting and crocheting both, especially when I'm watching TV. I simply cannot sit still and just watch TV; I have to have busy hands and knitting or crocheting is perfect. I have one problem, though. I tend to start more projects than I finish. Now, I could use the excuse that I'm an Aries gal. Aries people are supposedly not into details, just ideas and supervising others who do the detail work. But, I won't use that. I just get tired after awhile of doing the same thing, so I start something else. Oh, I'll get around to finishing all those unfinished projects eventually (I hope... lol). I'm sure that, if I had grandchildren, I'd finish any project I started for them. They grow so fast! Thank you so much for sharing that link, too! I'm going to look through all the patterns. I'll most definitely save the pattern for that blanket. It is so pretty and unique! Thanks again!

Wow, I would love to learn knitting but unfortunately, I don't have the talent for it. It would have been so nice to make my own blankets or jackets but then again, these are all available in the market so I buy those ready-made items.

I have not mastered knitting, yet. I can crochet. There is still hope for me I am sure. I think it is really great that you have found this site to share, and I am glad you founr the pattern that you had misplaced.

Thanks for your sharing. I wish this could be helpful for me. Unfortunately I don't know how to knit at all. My mom is very good at it. I love China

I am a crocheter...I tried to learn how to knit but it escapes me! LOL....I am good at most crafts but knitting and doing origami are not good for me....I am not inclined to learn them either....tried once or twice...that's it! LOL

yes like knitting a lot... have hoards of yarn as worked in a haberdashery for awhile and like old books, one of my freiends found some old recipe books, with real cakes in them using butter oh yum... i am a creative person so engage in different mediums, but find knitting relaxes my over tiered brain, and stops me biting my nails too., a double bonus., so appreciate that you have shared this information with us., so a warm crafting hug of thanks happy knitting best wishes x

Wow, what a find! I love that site. I love to knit and enjoy vintage things, too. I found a spiral sock pattern that I used to have and lost it! There are a few other things I want to make, too. Thanks for posting!

one of my friends just started teaching me how to knit. i have been crocheting but am just getting into knitting. i will have to check out the site. thanks!
