Have our DGS 1 + 2 here, Pulled a free Jean Greenhowe pattern off her site the other night. DGS and I have decided to knit - he hasn't a clue but he wants to learn! Knitting, I think, a dying craft.

Have you got the web address for her site? I love her patterns.

Hi folks, I would like to learn to knit. I can knit plain as my nanna taught me when i was younger, but apart from that i am totally ignorant. Can any of you nice folks lead me to a site or something that i can learn from. Just want to start off with blankets for the local cat and dog shelter, ( think this will be the easiest to start with and a good cause too). Thanks in advance for any help you can give me, Starry.

Hi Starry, pop into the knitters thread it's around here somewhere, if you go to the most recent page, there is a link on there that may help.

Starry,

She's not a twit at all, she's a very clever lady, especially on the knitting front.

Hi starry,

There's an older thread that should help so I've added your thread to it. If you need any urgent advice the people who post on the current knitters thread will be happy to help.

Well i have just ordered a knitting book and crochet book

I knit two cardigans when living at home with my mum so i must have been around 16...now after two children i don't know where my brain has gone and my patience followed it ...

i am going to try my hardest to get into it and do it , but even reading a knitting pattern it may as well be written in a foreign langauge to me...

i am one of those who needs someone to shout when i go wrong and now i have no one in this house lol

i would love to start a stitch n !!!!! meet with my mum ,sister in law ,aunt but am sure they will all say ''i hav'nt got time to sit and knit ''

thanks for all the tip's

i may become a nusance ..
