knitting stuff

New user icon, for use when I am talking about knitting. ;)

Which leads me to another question - does anyone want me to make a knitting-only filter? I sincerely doubt that knitting talk BOTHERS anyone so much that I'd have to make one, but hey, figured I'd check. No need to tell me, "I want to be on it!" unless you see a comment that says to make one, though. ;)

Intended on working on the gloves during lunch today, but instead spent the whole time untangling my yarn. I don't know why I have such problems pulling it from the ball...

ugh! I wish I could learn how to knit or crochet! I just don't have the attention span for it, I think! I can sew all day long and make some pretty cool stuff - but as for the other, if someone gets me started, I can do it, but if i stop, I forget how!

knitting is super fun and I caught onto it pretty fast - do you know if you have learned English or Continental style? I learned a variation on Continental and I find that it makes a LOT of sense and therefore my hands remember what to do. I look at English and it makes nooooo sense, but that's what most people learn. (And it's just fine for them!!)

I have the same problem! I've learned to knit about five times now, and as soon as I put it down I forget what I'm doing.

:(! Doomed to a knittingless existence, am I.

It helps, the first few times you pick it up, to have a good description, with diagrams, handy. It's hard to learn from a diagram, but as a reminder, it seemed to work.
