Knitting again ~3~ we like looking at it!! #177849 Feb 2nd, 2008 at 06:03 AM Jiffymouse Unregistered Jiffymouse Unregistered lynne, can you post a pic of the bear you finished yesterday? ( i think it was yesterday, it was pink varigated my memory isn't what it used to be ) //www.agardenersforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/90533#Post90533 //www.agardenersforum.com/forum/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=164817&PHPSESSID=73d3cc65d7e4b3b78efe9476caca3bf4#Post164817 Last edited by Jiffymouse; Feb 2nd, 2008 at 03:38 PM.

I have't finished that pink bear yet - I believe I said I was working on it... we had a power outage late yesterday afternoon for 1 1/2 hours, and I worked on it until I really couldn't see well anymore. Got the body and legs finished, and now need to start sewing it up, adding the arms and stuffing. Here she is in her dismantled state...

I would have thought that was a scarf or something. ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

Re: Knitting again ~3~ we like looking at it!! Tina #177857 Feb 2nd, 2008 at 07:05 AM Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY plants 'n pots Purl One plants 'n pots Purl One Joined: Nov 2003 Posts: 31,597 NY The thing is, Tina, that when you do the regular "knit 1 row, purl 1 row" - stockinette stitch, the ends curl in a LOT. The reason I like this pattern, is that the body and legs are knit from bottom over the top to bottom again. The only thing that needs to be added are the arms. Lots of sewing up, but I don't mind that. It's hard to believe that this will be a plump bear, but it really works!

I have made several projects (crochet) where I was following a pattern and had no idea where it was beginning from. I would be more than halfway finished before I would 'see' what I was making and say "AHA!" ~Tina Drama Free Zone. What every gardener loves the most, Begins and ends in rich compost. (Tina)

I usually put off doing the face, 'cause I don't really know what I'm doing, but this one went pretty smoothly. Hard to believe it's the same thing from above, huh? I was hoping to give her to a girl in Don's office - we went to her wedding 2 summers ago - but he just told me she's having a boy! What IS with all the boys these days?!?

I've been wanting to try this pattern for a few months now. Can you guess what it is? Nooooooo - it's NOT a bib! I just LOVE these buttons that I found at WalMart yesterday - they go so well with the yarn!!!

NOPE! I stayed up 'til 1:30 this morning to get to this point of the project. On Friday, I had to frog 25 rows!!! Because I made the project just a teensy bit bigger than it calls for, and things were NOT falling into place. I hope I have gotten it right now, and I only have 1 last part to knit and then sew on the buttons. Any new guesses?

I really enjoy sharing my projects here with you all, and also enjoy seeing all that everyone else creates! And... guess what? I am a member of a relatively young website for knitters. It has been gaining membership leaps and bounds daily, and is still by invitation only. It took me 5 weeks to get my invitation a few months ago, but a friend recently said she got hers in 3 days this month. Right now there are over 85,000 members. Not bad for a young website, huh? Soooooooo... this afternoon I got an email from them asking if they could feature a photo I posted there of one of my pieces, for that pattern link page. It is a small crocheted turtle that I made last year for Amy. They had already asked to feature the one I made of the bird for Amy last year, a few months ago. I am so honored by this request, as numerous people have made and posted pictures of both these items. Here are the animals...

While it looks so cute knit up with the plain yarn, I'm afraid she'll be able to pick off the "puffs" and possibly put them in her mouth and choke on them, so I am cutting all the pretty colors flat with the other yarn - SIGH... The right side is after cutting and the left side still needs to be cut. Does it look really bad? It loses so much of the color...

Re: Knitting again ~3~ we like looking at it!! plants 'n pots #188377 Mar 3rd, 2008 at 11:11 AM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered I think it looks really good Lynne! I do like how it originally was but I also like it after it is cut. It obviously loses the effect but they will never know that it was like that and I think it still is very cute! Very fun! I am knitting mittens now. I have 2 pairs that are ready to have thumbs put on. I am learning how to put the thumbs on Thursday. I will show some pics then.

So...they like to start with smaller projects like hats so that it seems like you actually accomplished something. If you learn how to make a hat you can definitely make a scarf so that is their theory!!

I just can't believe you are making mittens already - and have done cables - sounds like this was an excellent class! I'm very impressed.

Re: Knitting again ~3~ we like looking at it!! plants 'n pots #188803 Mar 4th, 2008 at 12:35 PM plantqueen Unregistered plantqueen Unregistered The lady who taught our class did say that we were more of an advanced beginner class. She said that most of the classes she teaches definitely do not get to cabling but she thought we were ready. That was nice to hear! At the mitten class on Saturday I showed them the cable hat that I had made. All of us have gotten into the habit of bringing what we make so everyone can see. The teacher showed a customer that came in the hat that I made and told the customer that I was the class prodigy. I wouldn't take it that far but it is nice to hear that they think I am doing well.

I guess that is because I feel like I can do more with it. I never took a class for crocheting though so maybe I could do the same if somebody showed me. I really like it though!
