I started on a blanket when I felt like there wasn’t any I liked in the marketplace. Not only have I finished it, but I am working on another.
Since moving to Maine, we’ve had the honor of “going back in time” in many ways! I’ve started to crochet again & it GREAT!
i would love to learn how to knit but how can i do it?
yellofaerie, I’d like to learn to make plastic-grocery-bag bags too. How do I do it?
I already knit and crochet, so my challenge will be to knit with crochet with wire to make bracelets and necklaces. Just a minute, I’ll get my supplies and start now. ;)
I love to knit, so my challenge will be to knit with recycled yarn – that is, to unravel old knitting and redo into new garments.
Since I’ve already done occasional knitting of baby blankets and scarves, I am challenging myself to be more involved in the process by knitting one baby or child’s blanket a week. It would be nice to start or be involved in a group that is eager to create knitted items for families in need all over the country.
i crochet, i enjoy it when i have the time. one trick i have learned if your hands sweat, it is almost impossable to crochet, so i use baby powder to fix it.
I actually started crocheting another blanket today! The last one I made took me nearly 2 months to complete. I started on Christmas day 2007. I still use it to this day and I feel proud to know that it was something I stuck to and finished.
I would love to join this one, but I already know how to crochet, and LOVE IT! I recommend it because there are a million things you can do with crochet or knitting, and it is really starting to become popular again. I even found a pattern to make a tote out of plastic grocery bags!
