October 28, 2005 - Learning to Knit |
When I was younger, I learned to do all
sorts of domestic activities (sewing, crocheting, needlework, and so
on). But, I never learned how to knit. It always looked too
complicated. Well, one of my very good friends told me she would
teach my girls how to knit. Last weekend we bought several skeins
of yarn, the cool, thick stuff that's really "in" these days. We also
bought some different sizes of knitting needles. Someone in our
church was giving away knitting needles, so I hurried on over to get
them.
This past Tuesday we learned the basic knitting stitch and were off to
make a scarf. The girls have been knitting almost every day
since. I got a little behind since we launched our conference this week. We are all enjoying our new skill and hope to learn more as we expand our projects.

October 28, 2005 - I love to crochet... |
| Posted by MySmokyMtnHomeschool |
I've just recently learned how to knit. I did some research on the internet and watched knitty gritty on DIY. I just love that show.
It is so relaxing to curl up with a hook (or needles) and a big skein of yarn. This is the time of year I drag all my crochet stuff out. I am working on a project now.
Post pictures if you can when you get finished with your scarf.
Blessings,
Amy Beth <><

October 28, 2005 - Crocheting, Too |
| Posted by LeadershipEducation |
I saw some pictures of crocheting on your blog. The project looked great. I haven't crocheted since junior high, but I would like to teach my girls sometime. I think I will give them some time to learn the knitting first.

I enjoy knitting! I've been working on simple scarfs for Christmas presents this year. I love to knit afghans in the winter because they keep me warm! hehe
I do want to learn how to crochet though.. I have a bunch of hooks that my grandmother gave me. =)

Well done on learning a new craft :-) I do a bit of knitting (still a beginner), and also do egg craft and cross stitch. I've never had any success at crochet, maybe one day :-)
I have enjoyed reading your blog and have added you to my 'friends' list, I hope that is okay. |
