xpost I love to knit *blind*. THis way I can cut down on my yarn - I have too many 4 skeins of the same yarn - and practice AND watch 24.

I'm fascinated by lace knitting!

I finished my second pair of mittens this weekend (looks much better than the first as usual) pictures tonight. Alas spring looks like it might be here to stay though. I'm gifting them to my therapist and she might just have to put them away for next year.

I also sewed a teddybear for my aunt which was awesome fun. I think, much like knitting, I prefer sewing things rather than garments. Perhaps this is because I'm not really into clothes. I should try to sew myself a hoodie and see how that goes.

I loathe knitting buttonholes and therefore suck at it.

ooh, help help help!

I do quite a bit of card-making (I've got one of those sizzix die-cutting machines and everything!) and I've just bought these from ebay :

They were really inexpensive - but I'd like to be able to knit card embellishments for baby cards like this myself. Being a total newbie to the knitting world, I'd need a pattern ...... i've tried searching on google to find something, but have failed. Does anyone know where I might find free patterns for knitting tiddly little things like this, to go on greetings cards??

Help/advice appreciated! Thanks :)

Wow, there are some great things on that site!

I need something tiny though, which is knitted on cocktail sticks. I can't find anything on that site, but thanks for the link! I've seen several things there I'd like to try.

yeah it's a good first start. I know I've stuff like you describe (gift embellishments) but can't remember where?

Ms Misery (MsMisery), Monday, 19 February 2007 14:46 (seventeen years ago) link

some (now useless) mitt-ens!

Starry, I was just looking around your flickr at your knitting. . .do you still want squares for your blanket?

Cute mittens! I was going to knit Ben a scarf, but we both realized that's it's too late in the season. 60 degree weather is not conducive to scarves.

high today in austin, 81. :( This is all that kept me from wringing the dog's neck for destroying one of my mittens.

Well, you can always knit lightweight lacey scarves with various novelty yarns, but I don't know how well they'd work on boys.
