There are so many nice yarn types you could use now adays, so everyone can find a favorite.

Socks is really easy, you should give it a try. Good luck with the class, please tell use how it went.
Socks aren't high on my list but I'm sure I'll give it a try one day. I'm excited about the class, will let you know how it goes. Maybe even take pictures :p

No they're easy, beginner's level. You will need to train your eyes where to put your hook through. Familiarize yourself first with the basic crochet techniques, abbreviations, and terminology. Does Kazzy crochet too? maybe she can show you, it's sort of hard to explain without a visual.

I will be teaching a small group of ladies how to knit tomorrow. I'm very excited to get them started. Wish me luck that all goes well tomorrow!

Thanks! it went well actually. I'm always eager to teach and inspire those to knit. I just wished there was more TIME!

These are the projects for my beginner's class, a knit coaster & heart.

I am setting up another one for next month and will be making beautiful ruffle scarves.

Names
 
I am forming a local knitting group and need a catchy name. I'm not really good with naming so I'm asking for some help if anyone has any! Would really appreciate any ideas.

So happy that all went well. Nice Projects for your class! Do you still teach them? And did you form a local knit group?

Have made a Marius dog sweater (The pattern is called Marius) that i wanted to show you :-) Have also made one in lime With Purple pattern, but i dont have Pictures of it. The one in the Picture are in the original Marius colors.

Attachment 388773

The pattern is in a Marius knit book that i have, it has many nice things you could make for the hole family :-)

I've been crocheting for about 12 years now, and knitting for probably 6. I'm a 19 year old male too! I don't use any sort of pattern, mostly because I haven't taken the time to learn the abbreviations. I actually paid for my darling Priscilla buy selling crocheted dog sweaters at the pet store in my town :)

Lovely intarsia work, I haven't taught myself that or cabling either. I need more time! Especially when I knit like a slug.

What yarn are you using for the sweater?

How cool with a knitting and chrocheting male in here! And so sweet that you earned for your darling Priscilla by chrocheting dog sweaters :-) I really want to see some of the things you make!

Thank you! I have used superwash wool ( 1,75 oz/110yd). 3,5mm needles (US4)

I'm very impressed. You should write your own patterns and sell them :)

Crochet flowers is about all I can manage, I'm more of a knitting gal.

Kamilla 07-08-2013 12:16 AM
Tessa: No, this is really a simple pattern. You knit with 5 needles starting with k2 p2 making the neck. Then knit as normal with some increasing (remeber to set aside stitches for the legs) when you come a bit behind the legs, you bind of under the tummy. Knit back and forth some rounds, then k2 tog on each end til you have the rounded shape. Bind of. Pick up stitches around the edge and k2 p2 for an inch or so. Then make the legs (k2p2)

Knit back and forth some rounds, as in KFB?

An easier way towards the end is to do your ribbing in the rounds without having to bind off, unless you prefer to pick up stitches. That's what I do for my doggie sweaters :)

I dont understand KFB... When you have bind of some stitches under the tummy, you knit to the other side and purl back. When you feel its long enough you start k2tog on each side, to make the round shape. Youll end up with only a few stitches left on the needle. I think its best to bind of and then pick up stitches along the edge to make the best rib.
I dont quite understand how you can knit the back of the sweater in rounds? Do please explain to me, maybe i can learn something new :)

Tessa327 07-08-2013 07:36 PM
KFB is knitting front to back resulting in an increase of stitches. I've worked in the rounds using 5 needles but prefer circulars for the body and DPNs for the sleeves. I "knit" stitch all around and only purl for the ribbing portion or when the pattern calls for it. I don't work from inside out, therefore I'm always knitting on the right side instead of wrong side of the sweater. Hope that makes sense.

I still don't understand how you rounded off your sweater :( I guess we all have different methods to knitting :)

ROTFLMBO! You are too funny!

I never learned to knit but I have a lot of respect for those that do...it sure seems like it takes a lot of time!

Thanks Sherry. It is slow but not limited to clothing. I have high regards for seamstresses too as my mom is one. I leave it to the pros to make beautiful and unique dresses for Tessa :)

And miss Tessa is such a beautiful little model! :D

It's getting much cooler here. Fingers crossed that we'll get to see snow in TX again this year.

I'm also getting knitty, anyone? ;)

Kamilla 10-16-2013 11:43 AM
Yesterday it started snowing here in northern Norway, and i dont like it :(
The sun is very low now and soon it will be gone, and it does'nt come back until late January.

Knitty? Not sure what it means, but i guess im feeling knitty all the time :D Now im making myself a thick winter sweater, and later on im going to make a new sweater for Rocky Superman. The one he has fits him perfectly, and will not fit the hole winter. (Hope he stops growin now, he is perfect as he is)

What projects are you guys working on? Or planning?

Tessa327 10-17-2013 10:49 AM
Sorry to hear that, winter months must be harsh in Norway huh. As for us we look forward to it, anything to get out of the hot TX heat. Knitty is my term for when I have an itch for knitting, which is pretty much year-round.

At the moment I have a few projects on loose ends that will be completed. I've took a twist on yarn and made new Halloween bows with toys to match but it's more for design and not for sale. What I really want to start on is a cabled leg warmer for myself. Bf wants a knit beanie for work, so I'll see what I can do. Happy knitting all :)

Yes, the winter is long, cold and dark. Not my favorite season! Love the term knitty! My daughter says we speak knittish when we talk about knitting ;-)
Would SO love to see the Halloween stuff, picture please?

Tomorrow, friday, the national tv channel are having a so called slow tv program. Slow tv programs are when you make a tv program with only one theme and it lasts many hours. And tomorrow its about knitting. They have made it available for foreigners at nrk.no/knitting, its a live stream with english commentary :D
It starts at 5 past eight in the evening, norwegian timesone +1gmt. If you google timezone you can find a map with all the timezones.

Thanks Kamilla for the preview. It got me a lil' excited there lol. I will be looking to see if it will show here, in CST. Make yourself some hot chocolate while you're knitting away. I LOVE sweater weather! :D

Kamilla 11-01-2013 08:58 AM

Same here but in reverse. I crochet very little, so knitting is more my cup of tea. Join the club, anything with yarn goes here.

Btw Tessa loves the crochet balls, she still has them. We're also a fan of your work.

Did you see the cozy on the motorcycle? :eek:

Knitting ! Crocheting !
 
I love both and find some simple patterns along with video instructions on You Tube . My biggest challenge was a sweater for my grand dog, a 9 pound Italian Greyhound. Their body shape is nothing like a yorkie . I can't seem to get the picture to upload here. The projects are very relaxing, lately have been just simple scarves, nice first timer project. Happy Knitting & Happy Hooking ! ;)
