AW - I can knit!

So I went to TH and took care of/helped my mom out after a medical procedure this week and she taught me to knit. I am what you would call very new but I have managed to make a really odd looking pot holder with the promise of improved stuff to come... anyone else knit or I am the only old bitty in the crew?

Re: AW - I can knit!

  • My mom taught me how to knit years ago... I think I'm up to 3 dish clothes and I'm working on an ice pack holder now actually.  I'm into watching roller derby and one of the girls on the team released a book with some knitting patterns in there, so I'm going to try some of those.  But, right now my ice pack holder doesn't look too promising!  Are you working on anything?  How's it looking?

  • I can knit, learned when I was like 8 from my mother but I can only knit scarves.  My mother however can knit pot holders and socks and my grandmother can knit anything including things with designs in them (such as a cow...)

    Fun fact with knitting in my family...we have a saying that if you knit a boy a scarf he will marry you.  My Grandmother started this and knitted her boyfriend at the time a scarf and he proposed soon after that, my mother did the same and I knitted my then boyfriend a scarf and I married him as well.  This tradition has also worked with a few friends we have encountered along the way, I think we are up to a total of 10 couples that got engaged a few months after the scarf was given and all couples are all still together (except for my Grandma, Grandpa died over 20 years ago).
  • Aww that's a cute story, maroonbell!

    I can't knit, but I can crochet a mean dishcloth!  I have attention span issues when it comes to creating something larger than that, though.

  • Yeah, when I knit something it tends to happen 2 lines at a time.  And I'll get half way through (after about a month), forget about it for a few months, find it in a closet somewhere and then finish it.  Then I'll be stoked about finishing something, get excited about starting something else and the whole cycle will repeat itself!

  • Yeah other knitters :-) I am working on two scarves and I have all the goods to make a wrap  and I find it very relaxing :)
