Ooooo I love the color & texture of that!
I'm a crocheter, but want sooooo badly to learn to knit. I love watching Vickie Howell's show on PBS. I've tried several times and my brain just can't do it.  |

I learned last year by watching You Tube videos. There is this one certain You Tuber that goes very slow and you can kind of follow along (so you don't have to keep rewatching the video) and she doesn't do a lot of extra talking, I recommend her. Now what was her name.... koser sam something.

Not a thing.
I went straight from Spring semester classes to a summer class. Biology...I am having so much fun.
Plus, we got the new kitten, Chloe, 3 days before the summer class started. Add in illnesses, mine, Little Bit's, and Ana's...there just hasn't been any time for much else.

Thanks I will try those! I think my problem is the yarning-over part is the opposite direction from crocheting. My brain just can't do it. And it looks so easy on tv lol. |

I do! Here are a couple pics... Oh those look fun - and quick! They are! Especially the stack of hats on the right. I did those in about a week. The pattern for the single hat is from Rachael Oglesby's "Crochet Boutique: Hats," and the pattern for the stack of hats is from her "Crochet Boutique." A hat like the ones on the right I can do in a couple of hours or so. |

I've been knitting since January. I'm currently working on this Swirling Sea Cowl in a colorway (from this company) called White Sand Beach. I'm about 1/3 of the way through with it. For the past few weeks I was working on this Nagel Purse. Unfortunately I had to toss it because I made a major mistake that I couldn't correct. I really want to make this bag so I plan to start it again, maybe this weekend. I know what NOT to do now, so it should go much better this time around. |

You're felting? |

Try looking up some videos on continental-style knitting. I didn't even know that's what I was doing, it's just how I learned - but the yarn over method is more similar to crochet. |

Yes, it's felted, which I know is good for hiding mistakes, but in this case I started knitting in the round inside out after setting it down mid-round. If I continued I would have had an uneven number of rows on one side. It was a mess. I don't know that I'm able to explain it well. |
