OOOOO ME! ME!
I love knitting! I’m working on a scarf right now, a mod. of this pattern: http://knitting.about.com/gi/o.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&zTi=1&sdn=knitting&cdn=hobbies&tm=11&f=11&tt=14&bt=0&bts=0&zu=http%3A//www.dailyknitter.com/iris.html  It looks cool, but it’s easy peasy
There are some fun patterns on about.com. I literally just google “free knitting patterns for (insert what you want to knit, afghan, hat, scarf, etc)” and I can usually find something that strikes my fancy. When you find a pattern on a random website though, MAKE SURE to bookmark it. I had one heck of a time trying to find an afghan pattern after my computer crashed. I’d already started the afghan but couldn’t remember the pattern well enough to do it from memory so I was in a pickle, lol. It took me two hours of searching online and going through my browser history to find it again.
Also, I’m a member of lionbrand.com. There are a bunch of fun free patterns on there, and the best part is they tell you which yarns to buy and how much so that your piece comes out just like it’s supposed to. I love lion brand yarn too, so much softer and nicer than some of the cheap stuff you can find at any old craft store (Lion Brand is sold in craft stores though, fyi). The cheap stuff is good to piddle fart around with when you’re trying to learn new stitches though.

Does it count if I don’t know how but I really want to learn
? One of my friends got these fantastic knit dishcloths for her bridal shower, and I’ve been dying to learn how to make them, but I don’t know what kind of yarn to use for that. Is there a special kind that is good for dishcloths? -

Is there a special kind that is good for dishcloths? You can get the Bernat Handicrafter’s cotton for that (Wal-Mart has it). It lasts well.

Hehehe. My grandma taught me the basics years ago, but since then, I’ve been learning some more advanced techniques online. Youtube videos are great too for learning how to knit – it’s a lot easier for me to see something being done than doing it from a written description.
MB your hubby’s comment about you taking up knitting made me laugh. My bf loves that I’m into the crafty stuff – he gets to benefit from my scarves etc that I make! I’ve always been a girly girl (though I’ve spent my fair share of time shoveling horse poop
) -

I just started knitting and was wondering if any other bunny lovers were also knitters?
I think, knitting and bunnies are a perfect match. I looked through my albums to find this photo from when my Lint was sick. He was so cold… and he stayed in this knit sack all night. It was supposed to be a cover for a hot water bottle but it has become my “sick bunny pouch”.

Hey Petzy, do they come in Monkey size? lolMonkey size would take like a half hour to knit!
I love knitting, I really do. It’s not a social thing for me, more a destressing time. Plus, people always have yarn scraps to give away so it is a way to save money, too.
I made this outfit for my dog. It’s a flashy patch work but I wanted her to stand out on the road.
Hehe, I think if I made anything for Leroy, he’s chew it up in 10 seconds!
