The Knitting Klub

[Deleted]

Knit one, purl two, or whatever you do, this is the place for the knitter in you! *end cheesy rhyming*

Yes, so, I...er, well, figured this board was a bit lacking in its creative department, and I thought an NTWF knitting circle seemed the perfect addition to fill the void. So, if you're a knitter (or even if you're not), come and join what will hopefully be a really successful club here. It doesn't matter if you're just starting out or have been knitting sweaters since you were two, this'll be a really fun place for you to come and hang out with fellow knitters and talk about your endeavors, seek an answer to the nagging question at the back of your head, or just have fun coagulating with other knit-witty minds.

And, well, much like the parent NTWF, all may join, whether you knit or not. :)

So, lemme begin by introducing myself... People call me Wolf. *nudges screenname* Anyways, I've been knitting for over a year now, and the first thing I knitted was a triangle. That was supposed to be a square. But I've gotten really good at it now, and I've made a lot of things, among them a hat, some wristbands, a couple small bags, and a teddy bear I'm trying to perfect before my niece is born in September. And, yes, I'm a guy, and PROUD OF IT, TOO! lol. ^_^

What about crocheting? Does that count?

Sure, why not? The only difference is a needle. (^_^)/

I used to be able to crochet, too...but then I forgot, lol.

There's a knitting board in Cosplay & Craftiness, but it's kinda dead now. *prods board*

I can crochet, not sure if I remember how to knit. I planned on making myself a tote bag this summer, but I don't know if I'll follow through xD The only thing I've knitted (and never finished) is a scarf xD It's the only thing I've crocheted, too. *phails* ^_____^

I want to join! I love knitting. I've knitted a scarf, hat, a sunglasses case, a purse and a tote bag. Right now I'm working on a doll blanket for my cousin.

The first time I knitted was in fifth grade when my teacher decided my whole class needed to learn. XD We each made a (supposedly) 5" by 5" square. Most people's weren't. Mine was somewhat square but had a couple large holes in it.

I have a pair of wooden needles that I really love, but a metal pair can work well too as long as they're not too slippery. Most craft stores sell knitting needles as well as yarn.

I love walking through the yarn section because so many yarns are so soft.

I use metal needles, straight ones, though I'm tempted to try circular ones at some point...

In the car to and from New Jersey this past week, I started knitting another bag. -_- I make them the most, it seems. But this one's for my mom. ^_^ She needs somewhere to stick her stethoscope, so I said I could make her something. This means, though, I need to watch more TV. *grins* I knit fast while watching TV.
