Sara Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I think I've seen those before, yes. I'm a straight needle knitter. I have to resist any more obsessions!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LovelyLathers Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I bought one of these just because it looked interesting. Now that I see all the neat things everyone has made I guess I am going to have to open it up and give it a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those will do nicely. The dollar store had some neat multicolor yarn the other day and I thought it would make great socks.Glo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I love making socks on these! Am thinking about using the next size up though and felting the socks. Mmmm.. Custom fitted warm wool socks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlyracer Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I'm mainly a hand knitter, but I did have one of those long loom thingies when I was about 7. I could only ever manage scarves on the loom though.I find it so much easier the old fashioned way. I've knitted fair isle, aran, lacy. Just give me a pattern and I'll knit it!Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 ((Bunny bows down to girlyracer))I can knit purl, and regular. And purl, and regular. Give me a patter and I "gaurantee" I'll mess it up. (I'm serious..lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give me a patter and I "gaurantee" I'll mess it up. (I'm serious..lol)LOL. That tickled me. I learned how to knit when I was about 8. By the time I was 14 I was knitting jumpers for me and my family. I sort of stopped for a few years then when I was expecting my first I suddenly took up the needles again. Pretty soon I was knitting for everyone, not just for me and my own. I used to knit jumpers, cardigans, hats, scarves, mittens for my friends' children. I even used to knit dolls clothes and toys. I've still got some Jean Greenhowe patterns somewhere.It's been a while since I've knitted, I've been bitten by the candle bug for the mo.I also used to do embroidery, cross stitching and tapestry.Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Wow.. I knit scarves. I can knit a lot of scarves. Did I mention I can knit scarves? Oh, and a baby blanket for my daughter. Lol. I really suck!Just learning how to increase and decrease, so hopefully I'll be able to make something fun soon! Getting tired of scarves!

The Soap Diva Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 My grandaughter got one for Christmas and she is having a ball making scarfs for everyone! I bought her 4 rolls of yarn to use. She loves it!:highfive: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnitaG Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 O yes, I do know how to make those socks, I even had a pattern for how long to make them for what size of shoe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I used to knit a lot, but carpel tunnel got the best of me. Is this something that you think I could work with? Too much repetitive wrist action is really bad (actually, it was playing Doom way back that did me in...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunny Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 CB... I've got ct.. And I can do these. I can knit on needles for about 20 minutes before I have to start shaking my wrists around, but can go for about 45 minutes on the loom. And 45 minutes on the loom gets a lot more done than 45 minutes on needles...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Hmmmm, good another obsession - er, I mean hobby.BTW, my chiropractor works wonders on my CT, plus I find getting dehydrated really really aggravates it. Just an OT-FYI. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnitaG Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yes, that is the same pattern, only I have a chart of how long to make the foot part by the size of shoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlyracer Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would love to see what you have made if you have any pictures. You are the master knitter. Well, most of the garments and toys I knitted were when my kids were little. They're now all teenagers so all those cute little jumpers and cardigans have long since been donated to the local jumble sales. My friends' children are also the same age as mine so there aren't any little ones to knit for anymore.I guess I'll have to wait till my grandkids come along which, as mine inform me, will be quite some time!Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
