| I'm excited about it, but don't have grand hopes for my skill, hehe. |
Well, I sort of do. I'd like to see you knit a scarf to completion....just so that you have something to show for your effort.
| Thanks for the help, dharma. I appreciate it! |
No problem; I'm very excited to have you start knitting!
| lw, you're gonna HAVE to post a pic when you get your scarf. You know this, right? |
Yes, you are.
| I remember when I was a kid in the sixties and an old lady I knew had a real one of those. Talk about freaky-deaky to a kid!Especially the eyes and the way they seemed to follow you! |
I really don't like people wearing fur. I'd much rather see a fox in it's natural glory than see it's skin hanging around someone's neck.
| Hope you put a pic of the wolf one in here when you get done |
I will!
Hehe...that's you all over. A wolven exterior with a harsh bark and scary looking bared teeth...but a gentle lamb on the inside.
| And if you find anything with a cow... |
If I do, I'll let you know. In fact, I'll go look this afternoon...
I do, it goes much faster than knitting, too.
Try granny squares first...its an easy pattern to learn and you can make all sorts of things with them |
This is very true. I can crochet, but I knit better than I crochet. Granny squares are pretty simple, and like S said, you can use them to kake a ton of stuff. You can sew them together to make a blanket, a bag or even make a vest - I had a vest when I was a kid int he 70's that my granny made out of crochet granny squares.\
| I started knitting a year ago... focused mainly on sweaters cuz I got bored with scarves |
Scarves can be knitted in an afternoon so there's almost immediate gratification and satisfaction with them. Sweaters take a little longer....I have some simple sewater patterns that I'm going to pass on to Tex; if you want to send me your email address I'll pass them on to you too!
Even my husband thinks that this is a cool scarf, and he usually doesn't get excited about the things I knit.
