Welcome Guest, Please Read This.

Welcome to the Crochet, Knitting and over all Needlework thread!

We all know needlework can be addicting, time consuming and frustrating beyond belief... but it can also be rewarding, relaxing, and joyful when it all comes out right .

This is a place to talk about our obsessions, annoyances, successes and everything in between.

In here will be talk of:

• Yarns (Oh, glorious yarn)
• Techniques
• Encouragement (Need that push to finish the darn thing?)
• Patterns
• Ideas
• Successes (Show us!)
• Failures (Getting 20 rows up and then giving up.)
• Questions (Please be patient, maybe no one else knows either)

A Few Rules:
1. Do not ask someone to make something for you.
2. Do not try to sell your work in here.
3. Showing off your work: Links only. No Images Please. It's hard for people with slow computers to load the page when there are pictures.
4. Patterns: Make sure the pattern you are posting is free and not something that was paid for. We could get in trouble for stealing copyrighted stuff.

Creators:

Spread the joy!

YAY!! A support group. (She said, cursing at the afghan that eats up all the yarn.) Thanks for getting this off the ground, Kanaye, and here's to a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and cheering!

Here, here!

*clinks crochet needles with Niece BD*

*returns the toast, then sticks another skein on the spinning yule* Made by Mr. BD, of course. That old spice rack sees more action as a skein spinner than it ever did as a spice rack.

Yay!

I crochet and knit, in that order. I have a blanket going right now that I hope to finish in time to move into the dorm.

Ah, Welcome Klinneah. Is the blanket in crochet?

I keep trying to teach myself to knit. It isn't going do well. I can knit ok, but I can't purl.

Most of the problem is that my mother taught me left handed knitting.

I've just- literally within the past 24 hours- started to learn to crochet. I'm at a serious disadvantage because my teacher is right handed, where I am left handed... I'm only able to do the basic chain stitch right now I also intend to learn to knit, and one day, make a replica of the 4th Doctor's scarf. Colors, length and all

Hi, Klinneah! Glad we have yet another yarn addict to cry to.

And Dr. Paine! I'm also left-handed, and I"m teaching myself, using a very good guide. So if you get stuck, just holler, and I'll come running.

The blanket? One big crochet granny square. I'm also left-handed, but I learned to crochet and knit right-handed. It's easy, once you get the hang of it.

-waves knitting hook-
I have made about 3 hats and a scarf so far, but none except one have came out perfect. One strangely came apart at the top and one has a little hole in it. And the scarf was all in between.

If I had fewer interruptions, I bet I could get this blankie for Mr. BD done before March. As it stands, I won't. :|

I'm actually making my very first ever sweater, but it is too short.

I'm attempting to extend it... not going so well.

I have front, back, both sleeves and cowl. All together.

Lets just say, if I had made the front and back the proper length, all I would have to do is add about 3 inches of cuff on both sleeves and I'd be done.

I'm going to see my friend's grandmother tomorrow, hopefully she can help me figure it out.

great idea for a thread-- click on my yarn egg for my"portfolio"

I mostly make items for the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. and occasionally gifts

I am trying to reduce my stash-- buying yarn is addictive

am making progress my DH has noticed holes in my wall of yarn(- I'll try to get a pic)

Yarn, glorious yarrn!

*has a yarn addiction almost as bad as her book addiction*

Well my scarf has no protection against the wind, that's for sure.
I can only knit scarves and hats.

Knitter here. I've been knitting for a couple of years and I actually taught my mother to knit rather than the other way around! I've done scarves, hats, the occasional socks, and this Christmas I knitted a platypus shaped hot water bottle cover for a gift.

Anyone here on Ravelry? It's a great site knitting and crochet site, free but requires you to sign-up, and they have tons of patterns, yarn info, and help forums. http://www.ravelry.com/

-chuckle- I couldn't knit if I tried. I'm interested, and I can FINGER knit, so I shall be stalking.

I'm on Ravelry. I actually used a Moebius Cowl pattern there.

If you wanna look me up, I'm Kanaye44.

I should post some of my work here. I can't post the Moebius, cause foolishly, I never took a pic.

Hmm, which photo shall I chose? And I have to be sure to follow my own rule and post a link instead of a pic.

The top half is over the chair, but it looks exactly like the bottom. It's 4½ feet tall.

Kanaye, that looks like the blanket I'm making, except mine is white, yellow, and green.
