Egluntyne Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 How lovely that you had that sort of relationship with your MIL. Mine used to knit little jumpers for Oxfam. We found about 40 in the house when she died. She used to churn out one an evening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 Hiya everyone! I'm now a K9knitter. I'm knitting doggie coats for the Dogs Trust & Chihuahua rescue. They sent me 3 patterns last night so I'm doing a stripey coat for a small dog at the moment. I've also been on the WI website & there is a cool knitting pattern for a shrug! My mum's knitting some cupcakes for the picknit as I speak! I've gone a bit knitting mad. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paola Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I do not know how I over looked this thread I passed knitting magazine in sainsburys with a lovely top on the front and had to buy it I am not very good at knitting but really fancy doing a bag by Noni. I have brought the pattern just need the wool and needles now At times it is like reading another language Not sure how it will turn out Would love to see some pics of your chicken and chicks Emma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I would love to learn how to knit...I used to have a go when I was little but ended up with holes where they shouldn't be I associate knitting with my Granny - she always knitted me stuff - and cool stuff too not the kind of unwanted Granny-style Christmas jumper if you know what I mean? She used to knit the most beautiful clothes for babies - little cardigans and jumpers - soooo lovely. I really regret than when I have children they won't have anything made by her How does one go about learning to knit anyway? Anyway know of a good book?

craftyhunnypie Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 I was taught when little but re - learnt again 4 years ago by buying a childrens knitting kit from The Early Learning Centre!!!! If it's child friendly then it must be easy to follow & it was!!!! I've also got a book called I love knitting bought from ' The works'. Little square book with some funky knitty things! The scarf kits are a good place to start! Good luck ... Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
