The internet has made it so easy to learn so much. www.knittinghelp.com has helpful videos of a lot of techniques commonly found in knitting patterns, and youtube is also another great source of how to videos. www.ravelry.com is site with amazing knowledge: a worldwide knitting circle with millions of members, an incredible database of yarns and patterns. I took up knitting in 2007, and it really is easy to learn as you go. And today there are such high quality patterns and yarns available. I love seamless knits - knits that are knit in one piece and don't need any seaming.

My Nana, who passed long ago, could always be found in her favourite chair, knitting needles in hand, listening to us while her needles gently clicked away. I don't knit well, but I have wanted to improve that skill for a long time. My Oma taught my best friend and I to knit one summer when we were little girls. She didn't have enough needles so we used Pick-Up Sticks. <br /><br />These are some lovely pieces. I have a small knitted dress my Nana knit for me when I was a baby... But so far, with only boys, it's remained tucked away in my hope chest. They do have a few sweaters made by their great-grandmothers. They make lovely heirlooms.<br /><br />MariaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03784556681112634347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-11124358767036880142014-02-14T09:08:36.577-05:002014-02-14T09:08:36.577-05:00The last one is absolutely gorgeous!

Just precious! And with such classic designs, they can be carefully packed away and saved for their own children some day.

I have been knitting for many years, but only this year did I finally learn the purl stitch, and now I can make rib knit, cable, seed stitch and stockinette with what I've learned! It's a wonderful hobby. <br /><br />Like you, I adore knitwear, especially clothes for babies and little children. The sweaters created by Amy's mom are gorgeous! I hope to one day be able to make something as beautiful. One step at a time. I definitely encourage you to learn.

Made a bunch of washclothes, blankets, and a superhero cape since. Then, last year, I taught myself to knit socks from a book called Getting Started Knitting Socks. I've made 5 pairs so far. It's so addictive! Especially because i never thought i'd be able to do it.

These yarns are a wonderful way to support small farms and businesses, and in the end of the project a heirloom is made :)osageacresfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12817038538515297205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3804818183817823900.post-2738458026676785662014-02-12T09:37:35.433-05:002014-02-12T09:37:35.433-05:00Beautiful creations.
