Knitting

I'm the poster! Do you know how to pick up a dropped stitch with a crochet hook?

Oh yes mhm, it was you two talking about knitting. I thought you were just satirizing the thread. Thread...knitting. Ah.

:cattail:
 
Maybe I just need to angle different or something. It seems like my back is always aching whenever I try to use one. But I don't have a dedicated sewing area either...

I don't either, yet. I will have a dedicated area after my move. I can't wait. Quilting takes a LOT of room. Plus, I am dying to learn how to do the free motion style of quilting which takes up even more space.
 
Now I have seen everything a knitting thread on a porn forum .:)

Don't know if I could do it now ,but my grandfather who was a merchant seaman taught me how to knit when I wa a boy .Quite a large percentage of seamen could either knit or embroider ,it help to pass the time at sea .

I have no idea what that is! I know /so little/ about quilting. We're trying to cut our carbon footprint pretty much out, but the gf sucks at pretty much all crafting. She can grow shit like nobody's business tho. She can grow flowers in a wheelbarrow. She can grow enough weed to get you blitzed for a year on the /headboard/. But my point is. If we're gonna get quilts, I'll have to do it. Because she sucks.

Plus there is something so visceral about fiber arts. Working the textures through your hands and fingers and creating something to actually USE-it's a great feeling of accomplishment. And it is so meditative. Except for my cursing when I fuck up.

Free motion quilting involves raising the pressor foot so you can do any design that you want without being restricted by the straight line. You can literally draw anything with your thread. Google it and you will be in love.

Would love to see something you've sewn.

That is fucking awesome! I guess you could do it by hand with an embroidery loop and 5 extra years?
 
did it say the pic was too large? I am not good with computers either!

You can also upload it to photobucket or imgur or something first and then post the link in the pic button. It's like mountains and sun, beside the quote.
 
This thread is bringing me back to my early childhood when I began crocheting around 3 or 4 with my Nana. Haven't knit a sweater in years and years but that was also fun back in my 20's when I lived like a hippie and made a lot of clothing and things by hand.

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to accomplish. I figure I'm done growing so I don't need much.

...been done growing for a while.
...kinda pissed about it.

I think it's cool that we can discuss other things. :D
 
Hey now, don't be putting down crocheting or I'll have to hurt you.
 
Saying it's too difficult for my little brain isn't exactly putting it down.

I can only do a few rows at a time, my wrist get tired, it takes me a while to get projects done and if I can crochet, anyone can.

I can do it if someone shows me how. But reading a pattern just... I can't visualize it.

Like say I want to make me a Kirby, because who the hell wouldn't? It's fucking Kirby.
