So I'm going to give this a shot and hopefully my blog will help someone out there!
I started knitting in Winter '06. Through youtube and other miscellaneous sites, I learned the basics. After winter break ended, I tucked knitting away and did not revisit it until this winter. I got a bunionectomy and couldn't do much because of my crutches so all I did was knit nonstop. I love learning new stitches and working on new projects :). That's it about me, on to knitting...
To start off, here are some of my favorite knitting help links:
- knitting glossary - this is a very helpful glossary that even includes videos you can view! If you're just starting to knit and are confused with abbreviations, this is very very useful.
- free pattern directory - this is a site full of a collection of different patters from scarves to hats and other sorts of great knits!
- knitting stitches - shows many different types of stitches/patterns. very helpful when you want to make your own pattern.
I'm still a novice knitter, but hopefully I'll have time to learn more! Feel free to leave tips :) and follow along on my knitting journey.
I came across your page when searching for a slouchy hat for my sister. I was knitting an infinity scarf for myself & she said she wanted one & a hat to go with it!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one who learned how to knit through youtube!! I learned about late 2008! Totally awesome that I'm not the only one who admits it! LOL Thanks for all the wonderful patterns!! Hope to see more from you, soon!
