I love knitting.. my Nana taught me how to knit when I was 4 years old. Now when I knit, I knit with beads, shells, make up my own stitches and techniques.

As a child, I was always busy with my hands, even infront of the telly I was drawing or making something, knitting, sewing or embroidering.

Now it has reinvented itself, and is not seen as being a granny-craft nor boring, and has become very fashionable.

How many of you now knit, crochet, do needle point etc, for fun, relaxation or seriously?

I suck at knitting!

Can you make me a sweater??
Or a scarf to keep me warm in winter?

counted cross stich

right now i am working on my daughters belly dance costume

Oh good luck with that and be sure to post some pics when you are done..


Funny, when I first saw your post, I thought you were cross stitching her belly dance costume..

I can knit straight things, like scarves. But they always end up wavy ... oh and someone always has to cast on and cast off for me because I've never learnt how to do that.

I think you should set up Org Knitting School Red!

How cute!!

Wavy scarfs are in these days..

I'm gonna knit a scarf for my boyfriend. I already bought the wool. It's been almost 10 years since I have knitted so my mom will have to help a little.
I like knitting and now I have a lot of spare time. I've graduated and I'm looking for a job which might take a while. So maybe I will make a lot of scarfs if I don't find a nice job...

I hate it, too impatient

Unless your boyfriend lives in 1953, I would suggest an alternative. Just buy him some crack, like everyone else does.

Maybe I should knit something to put his stash of crack in then

Unless you're intelligently challenged, I would suggest not to make preconceptions about people you do not know. Just act friendly, like everyone else does.

No seriously, Belgian winters can be cold, and a scarf tends to help you keep warm around the neck. Hence, a knitted scarf can be handy at times. I don't know what your problem is with knitting, though. You're not allergic to wool, are ya?

i am an old lady trapped in a hot, sexy, supple, 24 year old body. ok...i lie...its a 31 year old body.


i knit, cross-stitch (counted of course), sew, paint, basket weave, make no-sew knotted fleece blankets....umm..i think thats it. i'm a crafty little devil.

I refuse to believe that any of you are serious about your love of knitting.


I refuse.

I refuse to believe you. There is some kind of joke there--there has to be!
