here's a gryffindor scarf I made, my first real project was making one of these... and as I was very new to knitting it turned out like crap. ^^
so I made a new one that I love, and here it is.




here is a scarf I was going to make for... well a jerk I have had the misfortune of knowing, and falling in love with. *cough*
so in the end I cept it for myself... its really, really fuzzy and I just love it.

here are some "punk" gloves that I made.
I put little green 'X' along the sides that I think look really cool.


so what do you think? ^^'

Those are really nice scarves! 3nodding  

[Lee Kushrenada]

aww, thank you. 3nodding
I am very fond of all of them, though the gloves don't do much to keep your fingers worm, there still fun. ^^  

[Lee Kushrenada]

yes they are very nice for that.
I sould learn how to crochet just so I know how to make some of the things you guys talk about. 3nodding

I leaned how to knit about 9 months ago I think, maybe not that long ago but its been over 6 months.
now I don't even have to look at what I'm doing if I'm just flat up knitting, its great if you want to watch a movie, and some day I hope I can read and knit at the same time. xd xd xd
I know what really helped me to learn, is I went down town to a knitting/yarn store, and I got my first set of knitting stuff, and she showed me how.
a real purson showing you how to do things go's a long way in my book!
just know that its not a snap, and that you'll have to work at it, but it WILL come to you. 3nodding

I know what you mean, knitting a straight line is so nice and easy, you don't have to think about it. blaugh
well adding and decreasing is really easy. 3nodding I leaned how from this sight, it has lots of really great vidoe's. 3nodding

I once made a case for my ipod befor I got a real one, it was nice and fuzzy. lol.
I too want to learn how to make socks, I think they would be great in the winter to just wear around the house.

i've knitted socks before, but I had problems with it. I had gaps on the sides of the sock and on the bottom. sweatdrop It just takes alot of practice.  

[Lee Kushrenada]

so once again I've started on my sweater.
I don't know how long its bean in the works, but its been a little wile now.
I've made the front and the back, and now I'm working on the first sleave, so fare I've got about 5 intches of the 21 I need.

but now I've found people I can do it with!
I just found out that there's a coffee house downtown that has a knitting night every Thursday! blaugh
there trying to make the worlds longest scarf! 22 miles, they say it should take 54 years. xd but hay, why not, right?  

[enlith]

[DecemberFlower]

Those look really good. 3nodding

As for crochet, it's also not so bad as it seems. I tried using a number of different resources to learn and I had no luck. It just didn't seem like anything I could learn. Then I picked up Happy Hooker from the same person who wrote Stitch n b***h, and that totally worked for me. I finally get crochet, which is something that makes me happy because now I have more craft options. I can also do patterns that require knit and crochet.

I'd really recommend that book if you want to learn crochet. It's unfortunate that it doesn't have more manly or neuter patterns, though.
