Calling all knitters and crocheters! (or want to learn)

For those of you still needing to learn some techniques for knitting or crocheting here are so great resources:

http://knitwitch.com/index.htm <-she has videos on youtube that are fantastic demonstrations and explanations of how you do the various stitches both knit and crochet

http://www.knittinghelp.com/  Great general resource!

http://knitting.about.com/ Another general resources

http://knitandcrochetnow.com/ <-this is a tv show on a PBS station I found recently! I love videos to help learn this stuff!

I'm sure many of you know there are tons of places to find patterns online, so I am definitely NOT buying anymore books on this topic unless I'd see something fantastic.

Re: Calling all knitters and crocheters! (or want to learn)

  • I think doing a PIP Wednesday of something like this is a great idea!  Maybe next week, to give everyone time to get a photo?  It can be anything you are working on that's crafty...sewing, knitting, decorating your house, scrapbooking etc etc. 
  • Thanks, I think it would be a great idea too- we definitely are a talented group of women and it's great to learn things from each other!

    You've done a wonderful job of coming up with neat PIP ideas- I would have a hard time coming up with a topic every week.

    Thanks, Lisa!!  I try to keep it interesting and a topic that all or most of us can participate in.  I'm open to suggestions!!!

  • For patterns I always go to knittingpatterncentral.com or crochetpatterncentral.com

     I also have a long forgotten Ravelry account that I don't think I've logged onto in like a year lol
