Knitting anyone?



Growing up my mom was always knitting us these amazing sweaters and I never really gave anything thought into learning how. My grandmother had taught me how to crochet and I have loved that for years. So I have decided it is time to learn how to knit, I have gotten several needles and some really cool yarn. I have to say it was slow going at first and I had to start over several times but I have finally got the basic stitch down. Scarfs are all I have made so far and my daughter and I are loving them so much that I have completed a several now and have plans for several more. I have to say that with my mom not living close to me to be able to teach me, I found some great videos on utube that were a very big help. There are tons on there that show just about everything you need and want to know about knitting. One I have really enjoyed and learned form is Knitting Tips By Judy check her out. I hope to one day to get good enough to make the awesome sweaters that I see patterns for but for now I am content with making the scarfs LOL.
