I tried to teach myself how to knit during the pandemic, but it was so frustrating I was about to stab someone with those needles so I gave it up.
I don't know how people knit. I tried to teach myself and it just got tighter and tighter. I finally said the heck with it. LOL
Knit one Skewer two I remember you taking it up, but didn't really notice the lack of updates. I think I mentioned that I used to do a lot of needlepoint. But a plastic canvas is not so free-form.
totally been there. I love knitting though. I'm trying to give it up. I have arthritis in my hand, so it's hard to do. I make awesome slippers though, and I love them. And they're easy, so that's a plus.
I knitted as a child, but don't have the patience for it any more. Wife crochets a lot, but can't seem to get the hang of knitting either. She does more quilting than anything now that her hands give her trouble. She also did decorative painting at one time, and I did some rug hooking, as I thought that was a "more masculine" needlepoint.
Rosy Greer does needle point. I cannot find any pics of latch hookers (that sounds like things we shall not discuss here.) Man, I remember doing that stuff back in the 60s. I just read that the hook we've all used was invented in the late 1930s by a guy from Denmark, then mass-marketed in the late 1940s.
