For my birthday I received Knitting for Dummies and CK knitting needles and last night mum helped me get started
My nan taught me to knit when I was younger but I was never able to cast on and off
Despite the book and a tutorial on You Tube it was my mum who showed me what to do!
Her casting on tip was much easier than the demonstrations
I'm going to wait till I get the hang and feel of knitting on a basic level before I go any further and am already joking with friends that they'll all be receiving scarves for Christmas

Hi there!
Hope you become really expert at it!!
;-)
Beware! Knitting is extremely addictive! Before you know it you are thinking just one row of this or I just have to finish with this colour and of course start with another. I bet your friends will get scarves AND jumpers (with their initials on it) for Christmas!
That is so cool, teach us next!! You could have blog tutorials!! :)
Very cool! I love knitting! About all I can knit is scarves, too! That's what a lot of people got from me for Christmas one year, too! You've got a lovely set of knitting needles there. Are they bamboo? Bamboo is my favorite to knit with. I hope you show us your work! :)
Can't wait to see what you make! That was a really good pressie.

Funny how knitting seems to have really become in fashion again!
Even I have thought about doing/learning it again.
I want to knit up some of those really cute dishcloths...Very mundane I know,I know...
Oh how fun! I love to knit-it is so soothing! Have so much fun learning!! Give you Mum a huge hug for showing you how!
Good luck with the knitting, can't wait to see how you get on. I've been teaching people for years...some people can & some people just don't have a clue!!! I've been knitting since I was about 5 years old & I still love it, it can calm you down after a stressful day :) x
I love knitting. I've been meaning to knit a patchwork blanket, and have just finished my first square - maybe by Christmas I'll have finished!

Thanks for commenting back! I just popped across and see you are trying to learn to knit - I want to learn too but I'm just no good with instructions. I need someone to demonstrate. It is a crime but I still have my sewing machine in its original box from 5 years ago as I can't bear the thought of instructions! Keep pestering my mum to show me how to use it! :(
Hey I also wanna learn how to knit but I heard knitting is even harder than crochet and I haven't even mastered crochet yet!
Hope you have fun knitting!
Came over from another blog - Hey, before you know it you'll be knitting sweaters! It's much easier if you have someone to show you than trying to follow the instructions that they have LOL
hello :-)
i hope you get really good as I really want a scarf for christmas :-) XXX
