Just curious.

aww knitting is such a sweet hobby, I can't really criticize.....

I just got the must amusing image of someone knitting a sweater and taking timed breaks to post on TWW

9/3/2006 12:53:16 AM

I know how, but I usually only do it around Christmas to make socks as gifts

9/3/2006 12:53:43 AM

Urge to laugh

9/3/2006 1:12:09 AM

Yes.

9/3/2006 3:52:07 AM

I like to knut.

9/3/2006 4:00:15 AM

if any of yall can knit some boxers i'd pay for you to knit me some boxers

9/3/2006 4:41:16 AM

I knit and crochet.

9/3/2006 5:32:39 AM

^me too

9/3/2006 8:08:40 AM

I crochet, but only during the winter months. And I can only really do a single stitch.

9/3/2006 8:18:26 AM

I love to knit. I just went and picked up yarn for all my Christmas projects.

9/3/2006 8:48:40 AM

^indeed she does

9/3/2006 9:33:25 AM

gee, you knit?

9/3/2006 9:45:28 AM

I do. My grandma and her sister all taught us, my mom, my sisters and I. Right now I've been knitting the mother of all scarves.


Then will move to dishrags for the winter. I <3 heavy cotton yarn.

Knitting is a really relaxing hobby, to do while friends are over, killing time in meetings or waiting rooms, etc.

9/3/2006 8:31:52 PM

I want to learn how, I think it would be a cool hobby.


I'm training to be an old maid. haha just kidding.


Knitting is cool. I would make my dog sweaters.

9/4/2006 11:25:05 AM

I know how to knit and I have an entire basket dedicated to it that I got from my grandmother, but I've never actually completed anything.

9/4/2006 11:29:24 AM

Do you like to knead???

9/4/2006 12:04:32 PM

I knit. Been thinking about going to the stich and bitch meetups at helios... haven't made it yet.

9/4/2006 2:20:01 PM

^ There's a stitch and bitch in this city?

Well damn.

9/4/2006 3:38:44 PM

^ Yep http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SnB_Raleigh/

9/4/2006 3:47:24 PM

Awesome! I was about to ask about groups in Raleigh. I knew that at one point there was a group meeting on campus.

9/4/2006 3:52:07 PM

Knitting is about the only woman-y craft thing I don't do. I crochet, cross stitch, needlepoint and all that other crap. I would like to learn to knit, but the only person I know who does it is someone I can't stand to be around, so I'd either have to go to a group or teach myself, which is no fun.

9/4/2006 4:24:48 PM

teaching yourself how to knit isn't really that hard

pick up a knitting book from b&n and you're set to go

i have 2 stitch n bitch books and i think they are easy to follow

9/4/2006 5:24:51 PM

I plead the 5th...

9/4/2006 6:30:50 PM

^^ I feel sure you're right. I taught myself how to crochet from a book, and didn't find that too hard, but I'd just rather learn from someone else. It's more fun that way.

9/4/2006 7:05:38 PM

I taught myself to knit from the internet. I'm teaching my friend now, but she's not very coordinated

9/5/2006 1:01:57 PM

I do every once in a while. I haven't really had time lately though.

9/5/2006 1:08:41 PM

Here are some socks that I knitted after they finished blocking:

They were knitted with alpaca... super soft

Here is a dice bag that I knitted from the leftover yarn:

9/5/2006 1:51:42 PM

I knit. I do a lot of crazy-ass scarves. I haven't exactly worked myself up to any real articles of clothing yet.

9/5/2006 4:22:45 PM

^LOTS of scarves, and they're really nice.

9/5/2006 8:03:55 PM

I've only knitted one scarf and that was as a present. I don't like knitting scarves

9/5/2006 8:58:19 PM

One scarf as a present...

9/5/2006 9:27:02 PM

9/5/2006 10:12:38 PM

back at you

9/11/2006 12:41:23 PM

Heh, I learned how to crochet simply because everyone around me was doing it. It's pretty relaxing, and a good way to pass the time while sitting through long-ass meetings.

9/11/2006 4:10:21 PM

I can knit and crochet... I just didn't bring my stash from home so I haven't really gotten a chance to knit or anything since school started. I am excited to hear that there's a snb group here in Raleigh, that's really awesome. And I reccomend those books (Stitch 'n bitch & Stitch 'n bitch nation by debbie stoller) to anyone trying to learn how to knit. A friend taught me the basics and then those books helped me expand. Stoller also has an awesome book on crochet, which I really do a lot better than knit... just b/c it's so much easier

I was thinking of going to the knitting group on campus tomorrow night at 5:30 in Talley 3120. They have yarn and patterns, if you just bring needles. I hope to see some of y'all there!

9/11/2006 7:49:40 PM

^didn't realize that group still meets! Thanks for the heads up

9/11/2006 7:55:26 PM

what is Stitch 'n bitch? I guess it's kinda obvious from the name, but do any TWWers attend?

I never bother to knit fancy or anything but I can do a million scarves!

9/11/2006 8:14:31 PM

^^^I need to check and see if my needles got stuffed in my bag or if they're at home...I've never done anything complicated and I'd probably get flamed if I went, but it'd be interesting to go to atleast once, I guess. Who hosts the meeting?

9/11/2006 9:52:12 PM

my girlfriends knits...a lot

9/12/2006 12:15:50 AM

Thats my friends Mom!

9/12/2006 11:55:49 AM

I'm almost done with two hats I'm working on and I will soon start a sweater

Will post pics when they are done!

9/14/2006 10:37:58 AM

me

9/14/2006 11:03:14 AM

^ What do you like to knit?

9/14/2006 11:06:15 AM

i only know how to do scarves. i would like to learn how to do hats and stuff tho. i just have no one to teach me who knows how.

9/14/2006 11:32:54 AM

my last girlfriend does, though when we started dating I specifically asked her not to ever knit me anything to wear

It would me creep me out cause I'd feel like I were screwing my grandma
