LOL So I learned how to crochet instead. A couple of years ago I got a Knitting for Dummies book and taught myself how to knit. I haven't tried knitting a sweater yet. I basically knit scarves and hats. I knit the other way.Beachcomberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141656144437137552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26685715.post-31226280061145651142009-02-11T09:20:00.000-05:002009-02-11T09:20:00.000-05:00Do you know what's weird?

A few years ago, I started up again and am now knitting as fast as I can trying to learn as many things as I can. And I just figured out that I knit Continental, like you, and have to search for the right videos on line.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, my mom is visiting with us now. I was showing her my ribbing on the mitten I'm knitting now and she watched me and thought my knits were being done the wrong way.<BR/><BR/>I replied that my knitting comes out like it should . . . then I handed her a set of needles and some yarn and to BOTH of our shock, she knits the other way.<BR/><BR/>So I called my sister. She knits like I do! We both have NO idea how we learned to knit continental since we both remember learning from my mom!!<BR/><BR/>I've already accused her of being an alien from outer space who abducted my continental knitting mom! LOL<BR/><BR/>Can't wait to you start knitting some sweaters. I'm too scared to knit something that complicated. I'm still working on mittens and hats and scarfs!!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00845745615795181344noreply@blogger.com
