The Knitters Thread

Everhopeful09

Hello all,
Can I join your thread...am a fellow knitter, mainly baby stuff as easy and quick plus ideal pressies for my friends babies, they all seem to be having them, must be my age...30 lol. I am going to try and knit some xmas pressies this year, like socks, scarfs/hats luckily not too many. x

I find black wool difficult under electric lights especially for fiddly socks but is fine in daylight -just thought I would mention that

That's why it wouldn't matter if I made a mistake cos you wouldn't be able to see it :rotfl:

i love that wrap, its beautiful:T. well done you.

can i ask what pattern you used please?

I've just found a log square id started and put aside ages ago so im adding to thats at the mo. not sure what my next project will be but ive got a load of wool to use up so it will have to be for something i already have the wool for. probally something baby for a charity as ive just unearthed a bag of white and baby colours.

I keep thinking i fancy trying to knit socks but i then bottle out

Whose wrap are you referring to, Mrs MoneyPenny?

Another passionate knitter here.

Currently on the mad rush to make everything for Christmas pressies. Already made a jumper for my niece and a lace shawl for one sister. Currently working on a lace, leaf patterned scarf for a friend and have walking socks, a bolero and a hat to make yet. Bit annoyed though as I am in the middle of knitting a wrap cardi for me I want to finish.

Just turned 39 and starting to have a problem knitting in black wool *sigh*

Ahh thank you. It's called Comfort Wrap and it's by Melody Griffiths and it's in my Knitting in No Time book.

Im busy making Jean Greenhowes dinosaurs for Nephews boy for Christmas and have just bought from Ravelry a pattern for Oscar rabbit. I have been looking at it for months like a kid outside a sweetshop and finally got it :T Not that Ive got time to make him but you know I have to try. Am off to a knitting club on Tuesday night hopefully. So will let you know how it goes, am hoping for like minds - you know mad people who stash bags of wool under the bed and have enough patterns to last till they are 204 years old like me:j:j

Ginnyknit....there are a lot of us about....since my family moved out I have moved some of my stash to the smallest spare bedroom, but there is still lots in my bedroom.

I am happy to say that I now only have sweaters to knit for 2 grandsons ( 8&10) and 3 sons, 3 daughters and god knows how many more 'bits' which may never be finished....in time for Christmas anyway!
