Knitting

[cnamon]

I think I am going to take up knitting when Jeff leaves. 

Is it hard to learn?  Dazie, BD, I am looking at you.

My wife is completely self taught. I have never tried but my wife has taught the basics of knitting to other members of my family. It took them an hour to get the knit/purl combination down. After that it just takes hours and hours of practice.

It's totally easy to learn the basics of knitting all by yourself.  If you want to go further, it'll help to take a class or something.

I recommend the book "Stitch and Bitch" by Debbie Stoeller (Stoller?)  It has lots of pictures and really basic directions on how to knit a lot of cool stuff.  I've actually made one of the sweaters from the book.

The only thing I really needed help on was "casting on" and I found a video clip online that showed me how.

I bought size 8 knitting needles and thread so I can make something spiffy for my living room.

I can't even get the slipknot right.  I think this is going to require a class.

My wife hates it when I refer to her yarn as thread or string.

I wish I could speak English correctly.

I am not in with the knitting lingo yet.

I wish I were crafty, too.

[Alice]

She's crafty - she's gets around
She's crafty - she's always down
She's crafty - she's got a gripe
She's crafty - and she's just my type

I wish I were a little bit taller.

I wish I had a girl who looks good, I would call her.

We totally rock.

So how's it going?

[cnamon]

I think I will go take a class.  I suck at it.

That's cuz knitting is a lot like masturbation.  You should probably practice both.

Beeswax candles or candles that you have melt wax and dip wicks?

That doesn't look as fun as burning myself with hot wax.

[Jessie]

Are you gonna knit the candles?

I screwed up a slipknot.  I may try it again sometime this week...I really want to make an throw for my chair.
