Knitting

Does anyone know how to knit? Or wants to knit but doesn't know how? Or has knitting just been something that never interested you?

I used to not care about knitting. Then, last year, I decided to learn how to do it. Mom was happy to teach me. My mom's side of the family is very creative. Baking, sewing, knitting, drawing... we're a very crafty bunch. I bought two skeins of thick, fluffy yarn the last time I went yarn shopping. Because it's so cold, I'm working on knitting a scarf. I have to go buy more yarn tonight though. I just used up the last of my pink skein and my scarf isn't quite long enough to finish.

I don't have much money this year so I'm trying to knit presents for my family members. I'm making a scarf for my dad and I'm going to make arm warmers for my sister. She always complains about being cold. I was supposed to give her a pair last year but it didn't work out.

I learned to knit with bamboo knitting needles and they're much nicer than metal. Metal knitting needles are colder and more slippery. The bamboo knitting needles have a better feeling.

If you like to knit, please show pictures of some things you've made before
