It ain't purdy... but it's mine ;)
Thanks to inspiration from many bloggin' buds - one in particular - and YouTube, this is what happened at my fingertips.
I seem to fumble with those needle-do-hickies. And it's quite frustrating when a loop accidentally slips off! Arg!
This is my very first attempt at knitting. I also bought a crochet needle.

I never thought to look on youtube for videos of how to knit. I can knit but cannot crochet so will have to give that a go.

REGINA... YOU ROCK!
Have fun!
Regina rubbed off, huh? I am way impressed that you guys can teach yourselves with videos. I do not think that would be possible with my pea brain.
Great job!
well, not a great job - but great attempt. i was laughing as i was trying along w/the videos - and then rewinding - play - rewinding - play - rewin....
That is so cool!
Well, now that you are knitting (and soon crocheting) check out what I am trying to do . . . . at my retail site, The Best Nest. It is ecological, economical and just plain fun! Have I aroused your curiosity? Let me know what you think!
I bought one of those Klutz knitting books that comes with everything you need a few years ago, I never used it but could never bring myself to get rid of it either, now I'm keeping it to use with Catherine one day. Keep practicing for me, when the time comes I'll have to fly you up to Milwaukee and you can teach us! ;o)
yay for you....i am sooooo jealous.
i wish my "creations" could come from some orderly place, like an instruction manual, perhaps, instead of my malfunctioning brain that has to re-do things a million times before i get them right.
lots of luck with your new endeavor. please keep us posted with updates.
btw. i left you a "comment" to your comment over at my place.
so glad to have found ya!
i can just imagine your sweet, southern drawl. it really is not fair that everyone doesn't get to talk in such a cute or interesting way.......
wow.... my sister is knitting?
Is this my influence? Or Dani's?
HAHHAHAAA!
I have an award for you Shelly. See my blog for details.

i must say, kp, that i've never known you to knit!
Now, make a mean skirt, pillow or fleece hat - you've got me beat! hot glue anyone?! LOL
Yeah... you are right... no knitting here... I have always wanted to make a quilt... but, well, I figured I would just quilt 1/2 of it and call it a quilt.
In which case it would be kind of like a big napkin!
