Nope, Diane - I haven't posted my Knit Willy here yet. I guess I felt that most saw him in Cindy's post, but I will show him here since you've asked. He was enjoying the New York fresh air, before getting shipped off to Washington in these pictures! Hanging out in a tree ... Being serenaded... Kicking back by the pond... Cooling off in the shade, waiting for Slinkie...

I was looking at patterns in the knitting forum that I belong to, for the yarn that I used for the baby gifts - cotton - and came up with this oh-so-simple bootie pattern. I just finished knitting the second one. I think it looks better in solid colored yarns, but this matches the other items I knit up for the boy baby, and will go with them all.

It is a cuff that goes to a triangle up the back of her hand and has a loop for her middle finger. So not exactly fingerless. She has given them all away to friends. She is currently working on a sweater. But hopefully she is really working on homework. I might have to take the looms and yarns away. She's a maniac! ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

I so wish we could see some of her creative work!!!

If you need help I can walk you through it. The decreasing is simply knitting 2 stitches together at the same time. Increasing is a bit trickier, but still really easy. Here is the link to the pattern... baby booties There are 3 different sizes you can make - I originally made the medium size, but they looked to big to me for a newborn, so I ripped the one out and then made the small size. I know the baby could have grown into them, but I decided to do the small anyway... I like this pattern because it's knit on 2 needles - I prefer them to circular or double pointed patterns!

This reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally has become an addiction! I picked up 2 plastic storage chests for my yarn stash, to get them off the floor and out of the numerous plastic bags they've been in for months on end. I thought this would hold it all til I decide what kind of wall unit to put in the craft room that I hope Don helps me with soon. But.............. the 6 drawers are jam PACKED to the brim, and I still have more yarn to put away. Plus I have 3 large baskets with lids that are stuffed with yarn!!! I need YARN HOARDERS ANONYMOUS!!! In my defense, at least 1/2 of this yarn was given to me for free!

You're really making me blush here... Diane - I tried stacking the storage units in the store - they are very flimsy. I do think that I could hold them together in the back with some strong plastic ties that Don has, but for now they are ok the way they are. You all are taking that picture too seriously! I posted it, 'cause I was curious as to what kinds of things you might come up with for the shape of it - just for fun! I'll reveal the true purpose when I finish the project and it has been given to the recipient.

I had only done a little knitting as a teen - wasn't really into it and didn't want to learn from my mom. Now that I could use her help, she's in Florida!

Knitting seems so complex to me, but my Nana in England is 85 and she still knits us sweaters, it takes her a long time now though because her hands are so stiff. I cherish them. Maybe one day I'll give it a shot.....my dad can knit, he had to knit squares when he was a boy....to make blankets during WWII.

The books and videos don't help me much. I'm left handed. I can do all of the crochet books and videos and turn it to my needs though. Isn't that odd? ~Tina Drama Free Zone.

Re: Finally knitting again ~2~ we wanna see more of it!! Tina #174195 Jan 21st, 2008 at 12:23 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered I took a knitting class this last Saturday. We learned the basics and started on a project. Our first project is a hat. I am getting there. I will take some pics of my progress. I have never knitted so I was surprised when we started to make something already. The class is Saturday mornings for 2 hours and it goes for 4 weeks. This class is at a very neat little yarn shop. I want to take more of their classes once I get the basics down. They have a felted slipper class that I want to take. They are very nice. A friend of mine makes them. She referred me to this yarn shop and that is how I got signed up for this class.

Re: Finally knitting again ~2~ we wanna see more of it!! #174207 Jan 21st, 2008 at 01:00 PM loz Unregistered loz Unregistered Very cool Jessica. I hope your hat turns out nice! The first blanket I ever crocheted was for my nephew when he was a baby. It was so crooked! Hey I was only 14 years old and it was my first one. Sooooo, don't be hard on yourself in the beginning---I mean I know knitting and crocheting are different but I'm sure it will take a bit to really get the handle on things.

Re: Finally knitting again ~2~ we wanna see more of it!! #174209 Jan 21st, 2008 at 01:07 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered Yeah I'm sure it will but honestly it is not as hard as I thought it was going to be. But it really helps when you have someone there to help and show you what to do. I learned to crochet from websites and from asking Lynne questions. It is a lot easier to learn when you have someone showing you. For me it is anyways!

I really enjoy making things for others, you know? And I don't always expect the items to be appreciated, as I know "different strokes for different folks". :wink: BUT... I really really really forgot how self centered and selfish this friend of mine is, and apparently it has gotten worse as she's aged. I haven't seen her in 10 years, and thought we'd catch up on things, but she was totally only interested in what was going on with her and hers. Even to the point where she called me last night from the hotel at the airport to TELL me to look under the bed she had slept in, for her daughter's missing curling iron, and when I did find it there she TOLD me to send it to them. Well... what can one do? Everything is a learning experience, right??? And I DO know that this next pair of gloves I am making will be welcomed gladly!

Re: Finally knitting again ~2~ we wanna see more of it!! plants 'n pots #176504 Jan 29th, 2008 at 07:40 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered I love the gloves Lynne!! They are awesome!! Once I get better you will have to send me the pattern! The knitting is going good. The class that I took is for 4 weeks and it is once a week. So....I have been to 2 classes so far. I am really enjoying it. On Saturday we are going to learn how to finish a hat using double pointed needles. I have 2 hats right now to the point of the double pointed needles that will be finished once they show me how to do that. I am very excited! I will show pics of them! In March they are having a felted slippers class and I plan to take that. They have some on display in the store and they are very neat.

I can't wait to see your hats. And to find out how you like using the double pointed needles - I really don't like to use them, but will if there is a project that I really want to make. I also like those felted clogs, but haven't attempted that yet - can't wait to see those too!

Re: Finally knitting again ~2~ we wanna see more of it!! plants 'n pots #176542 Jan 29th, 2008 at 09:44 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered I have learned so much in the last 2 weeks. Knitting always seemed like it would be so hard but it really isn't. Do you use circular needles Lynne?? That is what I start the hats with and I like them. I am now making a scarf with straight needles and I don't like them as well as the circular.

But I know lots of people who prefer those 2 to the straights. That's what makes horse racing, ya know??? (I do use both when I want to make a certain project that calls for them, but search for a pattern where I won't have to if I can find one)

Re: Finally knitting again ~2~ we wanna see more of it!! plants 'n pots #176559 Jan 29th, 2008 at 11:05 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered To each his own.....everybody likes different things. Maybe I like the circulars better because that is what they started us on and I got comfortable with it. I like that when making a hat you just keep knitting....no back and forth. I don't mind the straights though! Can't wait to see what you make next Lynne!!!

Most begining classes start out on straights and usually with a scarf - I know... boring! My friend who teaches knitting at Micael's here was very surprised to hear that you are beginning with a hat and slippers and on circulars and double pointed, but if you are enjoying it and catching on, then I say all the more power to you!!!

People like that only appreciate themselves,, while others around them shake their heads in disgust.

The lady teaching it said that they don't start with a scarf because it is long and tedious and that makes people give up fast because they think that all knitting is that way.
