make USMC dishcloths for everyone in our family support group

My knitting skills are sorely lacking, so my main goal is just to improve my skills.

improve my skills/speed

honest, i want to be more like Heather, i want to be able to get my cables to look uniform and figure out what it is that slows me down so much

I would like to try once again to figure out how to do it. I've tried several times before but I just can't get the hang of it.

*use more of my stash
*make the candle flame shawl I've had on my to do list for over a year now
*make a sweater for myself

I would like to learn how to knit socks. I got a knifty knitter for Christmas and I am excited to learn how to use it! I do know how to knit/pearl so I can knit afghans, ponchos, and scarves, but I'd like to make things like hats and socks.

**YankeeMom** · 12-28-2007, 05:09 PM

Oh yeah, that's something else too. Figure out that darned knifty knitter

It boggles me....

I have several knifty knitters, I love them...

Heather - try thinking of each peg as just a loop on a needle... okay, a weird round or recangular one... but, just a loop all the same. When I first started, it felt weird knitting to the right, so, I just loop it up and knit to the left.

-- my list (copied from another thread, too lazy to retype)
*Harry Potter scarf for DD.
sweaters for Barbie/Ken/Bratz/American dolls
dresses for Barbie/Bratz/American Girl dolls
coats for Barbie/Ken/Bratz/American Girl
sleeping bags for Barbie/Ken/Bratz
sweaters for DD and me (maybe)
slippers for everyone
socks for everyone(I will do it... I will, I will, I will... I hope)
scarves
hats
mittens
leg warmers
purse
afghan for DD (unless I crochet it)

I'm planning to make a cable knit baby sweater...hopefully I'll start today.

I am a very sporadic knitter but like to use foreign patterns to make baby clothes. I don't normally make them for anyone in specific. I make what I like and save them for gifts.

**miss_thrifty** · 01-06-2008, 09:06 PM

I finished one green and white scarf (ribbing) and making anothet with black and multi color rows.

It's been a long time since I have really posted here, but just had to for this.
I have decided that 2008 is the year I learn to knit socks, I love small projects, and I really want to knit a 1st sweater as well. I do great making scarves, dish cloths and ponchos, but feel the need to expand my skills now. I am trying very hard to get the knack of knitting on dp needles, but they feel so awkward. I love to use circular needles, they go so much faster and smoother for me.

** make 10 scarves for the homeless (I do this everyyear)
** make a poncho for myself (I have never made one before)
** learn how to make socks

**iida** · 01-21-2008, 10:02 AM

My best friend and I started a knitting club. Tomorrow will be our first meeting. Our plan is to make gifts for next Christmas. I have already started. I have six pairs of socks, one outfit for my brothers not-yet-born baby and two pairs of mittens already done. Scarves are next on my list.

**KFinTX** · 01-21-2008, 10:23 AM

My list of to-do's:

Learn how to knit socks so I can make Christmas presents this year (the few scarves I made this year for Christmas were a big hit!)

Finish the scarf & hat I'm making for myself out of baby alpaca.

Finish the ribbon yarn scarf I've got on my needles right now.

Make an afghan or two--one for me & one for Christmas

Knock out a few hats with the left-over yarn in my stash. Stitch & B tch has a great pattern for a quick & easy hat; just make it all one color instead of many & zip zip zip, you're done!
