I learned to KNIT!

I am so proud of myself! I can't believe it! I'm just so excited that I finally figured it out!

My hands will be busy now LOL.

I've been wanting to learn to knit forever but I haven't taken the time to do it. Did you use a book or just figure it out on your own?

My sister Laurie helped me, and gave me some books to borrow. One was The Complete Idiot's Guide to Knitting and Teach Yourself Visually: Knitting. I also used the videos at Knitting Help.com.

I have the basics mastered, I haven't officially made anything but swatches so far, but it's a start!

I'll have to check out the videos, thanks!

Good for you. I miss my grandmas knitted slippers, so WARM

I only know one stitch but I can knitt I have made blankets and scarves. I really want to know more stiches but I just dont have much time to learn have fun

Have fun! I dont know how to knit but I can crochet and its a great stress reliever!

I crochet and i love it. been meaning to learn to knit! have fun!!!

I knit too... I knit a lot actually. I kinda have a love/hate relationship with it... crochet is sooooooo much quicker.

When you have a good hang onto knit and purl stitches, and passing over, I'll give you an awesome pattern for beautiful mock cable stitch beanies.

I learned to knit over the summer. MIL taught me...then the yarn store said I was doing it wrong so I went to knittinhelp and relearned

It's really easy once you get teh hang of it...after a few months I started selling longies for $60-75

LOL, that's what I'm wanting to do too, but not to sell them. Where do you sell yours at?

My mom tried teaching me, but my sister said she did it in a weird way, so my sister retaught me & it makes much more sense now.

I dont sell online. they are all going through word of mouth. It started with some I made my nieces for Christmas and when they wore them to play group the other moms wanted them...and then some more to people that have stopped me asking where I got Johnny's.

Yea...it was pretty easy when I stopped magically adding stitches int eh middle of rows...MIL had no idea what i was doing wrong but I eventually figured out that between holding it WAY TO TIGHT and who knows what I was randomly wrapping the yarn around the needle creating the extra stitch on accident. it was when I went to the yarn store about something else that they told me I was knitting backwards (going in to the back of the stitch instead of the front) and that was making everything not quite work the way it was supposed to. I am currently trying out duplicate stitches...the actual doing it is easy....the artistic knowing where to put them is a bit more challenging for me.

Cool!
My mom learned several years ago~she keeps us supplied in slippers!!!

I dont think I would be able to sit still long enough to knit..lol! We wanna see pics of your first finished project!

That is awesome Mollie! My mom has tried to teach me how to knit & crochet and I just don't get it.

I'll share something eventually. I'm still a beginner though, so nothing's really good yet.
