Any knitters?
« on: April 05, 2007, 07:51:22 AM »
Teresa's tatting thread got me thinking of knitting.  I just took a beginner's class this week, and I am "hooked".  The next beginner's class isn't until next month, and I was supposed to work on my scarf and finish it by then.  The instructor was going to show me how to bind it off at the next class.  But I finished  my scarf overnight, and went online and taught myself to bind it off.  I also started another scarf, and bought yarn for 4 new scarves altogether.  I might even teach myself to purl, I found a great website with how-to videos.  So who else here knits?  I think I am becoming obsessed!

It's one of those things you either love or you don't get it at all . . . . . Welcome to the club!  (If you need any help, let me know . . . . I have one of those cameras hooked up so if we can get into a chat room I can show you how to do things with it.)

I've been knitting since I was 6 years old. My first project was a pair of baby booties for one of my baby sisters. I haven't knit anything in the last few years but will likely start up again some time soon.

And miss out on the ice fishing? {nono} {nono}

I am surprised that you knitters don't know what it is.
I know you think I'm just having fun, but a buddy of mine went to a knitting store to buy a nitpicker to make the loop on a furled leader. (fishing)
It is a pretty cool tool.

The nitpicker I have is a long needle like tool with a rough end . . . . pulls the snags to the back side of the knitting so they don't show . . . . .
