I Knit Stories of Experiences (Page 3)

I think I have a problem. As busy as my life is, knitting has once again surfaced as an amazing stress relief for me, so when I'm home, winding down from the day, I am constantly working on something now. I CAN"T STOP...

I Love to Knit.  It keeps your hands busy while your mind is doing other things.  It is almost like a fidget habit.  Well I made these cabled fingerless gloves last year.  The yarn was a beautiful rainbow coloring...

I've been knitting several years now, and not only is the cliche so true (yes, it IS relaxing!) but at the end of your stress relief session, you have something beautiful to show for it!
 
I've made 30 scarves or so...

i a teenage guy who can knit...not quite the stereotype for this demographic but i don't really care, i love doing it...it is so relaxing and i love making things. i once made a blanket...it took me four years of off-and-on work and...

okay not really... i taught myself how to knit years ago but it certainly LOOKS like my first one and I guess if I tell everyone it is they'll at least be polite about it :)  I really have no talent whatsoever, which is weird...

I am currently working on sweaters as christmas presents for the 2 nephews and 7 great nieces and nephews who are under 18.  I have finished 5 sweaters and have 3 on needles and 1 still to start.

I taught myself to knit years ago when I was broke and looking for a way to actually do Christmas presents one year.  So within a month I had learned how to knit and made 6 hats!
I'm naturally a little fidgety so knitting has...

i knitted a sweater i thought how cool it was
it looked like a stright jacket with baby pink and baby blue for colors

I'm attempting to knit a scarf at the moment, under the watch full eye of my Grandma. I've got it all carefully planned out so at the pace I'm going, I should be done by Autumn and have a use for it.
Hooray!

I taught myself to knit two years ago and can't stop.  Though I believe I am developing carpel tunnel, I keep on truckin'.  I have knit all sorts of things: socks, scarves, bags, hats, a swim suit, and mittens.  I can't...

My mum taught me to knit properly when I was sixteen, but she used to buy me toy knitting sets when I was little. My mum could knit anything. She also had a sewing machine and one year decided that she would make my school trousers for...

I was taught to knit in primary school but I hated it and I was rubbish so the teacher often sent me out to stand in the hallway. That was great because sometimes my main teacher would find me and let me join in with what the boys were...

I learned to knit out of a book as a technique to help myself quit self injuring, also to help panic attacks..
it really worked out for me, though i really only am doing a simple stitch and making scarves and sweaters and the like.
I...

I just finished my first sweater.  The realization that I could knit stockinette and read at the same time made the sweater fly by.  Not only does knitting allow me to sit still and read text books, which while interesting are...

I have been crocheting since I was 11 years old...OH wait! This is about knitting. Just kidding.  I saw my first pair of knitting needles at an auction in Louisiana. I looked at them and said..."What's this?" I knew how...

hello knitters, I use needles on a regular basis!  My favorite projects are felted slippers and toe-up socks. 

When I was little, I watched my mom quilt, craft, and cross-stitch. I was always fascinated to watch her turn small bits of things into this amazing bigger thing that had ART to it. I wanted to create, too! And through the years...

My Grandma taught me to knit when I was really young. I like to say that's where I learned it but I forgot how to knit like two days after she taught me. My mom bought me a do it yourself book on how to knit and that is where I learned...

I knew how to crochet, but never knew how to knit until a little over a year ago, a very dear friend of mine taught me and I haven't stopped since. She owns her own yarn shop, I helped her start it. Every time I pick up my knitting I...

My fingers are beginning to itch...why? Because it's knit fever knit feverrrrrrrrrrrr!! Yay!! I was taught by my Grandma when I was little. She's great, I own a cardy that I knited myself, despite it being way too small for me now!
