| dog sweater knitting didn't work Well, I took someone's idea and got knitting supplies and decided to try to make some dog sweaters so I could have exactly what I wanted. I love to do crafts, so this idea was fun for me....well...knitting didn't work out so well...and crocheting...um...don't think I'm going to be able to get this. So now I have some pretty yarn and was wondering if there is some easier way or projects I can do with it. I saw something called a kwiknit or something like that and it makes blankets. I wonder if it could make dog sweaters too? suzie |

I was going to suggest making blankets - or hooking up with someone who knits and have them show you some tricks - my mom knits and can do it with her eyes closed. I'm not kidding either - I've seen her nod off holding her knitting needles lol | |

Crocheting is easier than knitting but you should start out doing blankets or scarves. It would be difficult to start right out making a sweater. You have to learn to walk before you can run But crocheting is a great hobby and a relaxing passtime | |

| i haven't tied to crochet but i do knit. knitting is really easy. it was hard at first but prolly because i tried a bag first. my sugestion would be to try and knit a wash cloth first. i will never suggest making a blacket first because it is long and takes a while. and when you are learning something new you need instant gradifaction!!! don't give up! go to knittinghelp and they have free online videos of the basics and some other things you may need to learn. plus its a great forum to ask all the questions you may have. so good luck!!! |
