Space Chick Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 And Blimey it was a fun but hard task..... You forget how much you take for granted... I was put the needle here, put the wool there, you can't just swap hands She can now cast on and do the knit stitch though she's chuffed to bits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee1965 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I remember my sister teaching me to knit many years ago. I'd been given a little basket of wool with some knitting needles as a present from Santa when I went to see him one year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 That sounds really rewarding. It definitely helps being shown how to knit by a friend, it really is quite difficult to follow instructions in books at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_los Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 What a lovely idea, and you may even get a new woollen jumper next winter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe smallholder Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 That is really nice. My friend helped me with a new sewing machine and I've baked and iced cupcakes with another friend. Sharing these little things feels good, back to the old days before technology took over everything (says me as I type on my phone!)
