What do all knitters have in common? We love to knit!
We love knitting, crochet and some of us quilting. We love to get our yarn and knitting needles or crochet hooks out and whip up a cable knit sweater, gloves or a cap. Lots of us love to go to knitting classes or go searching for knitting patterns at garage or flea sales.
Me? I love to crochet flowers. I have them all over my bedroom, bathroom and even up the stairs. I also love to collect old knitting magazines stuffed with knitting and crochet patterns. Nothing thrills me more than to find a really old crochet pattern full of crochet or knitting stitches.
Why WYIF? With Yarn In Front.

I want to crochet, because I have seen some really great things made from yarn, and I hate knitting. I found a video online and I started something I believe is called a chain stitch, but then the next step confused me. So help? Videos please. And is it easy to make a pair of socks? Just for decoration, I want to make electric blue socks for my percy jackson collection.
Well, i'm into crochet for not so long, thinking of doing an amigurumi, got the pattern and everything, but my craftstore seller does not know what worsted weighed yarn is and instead gave me Mirage, Double knit yarn. Are they kinda the same, can i use them both?? Is there any difference? Or will it be more difficult to crochet with the double knit yarn??? PLEASE HELP
just curious, because i really want to knit or crochet them.
Looking to crochet (or knit) a bikini, but I need to know what kind of yarn to use and any links to sites with cute patterns would be helpful. Everyone says that swimsuits are just one of those things you shouldn't knit because they stretch and sag, but I have seen patterns and nowdays there are so many different types of yarn, I know it's possible. I know cotton should be avoided, and probably silk, but something with elastic, rayon, or nylon in it would probably work. Your thoughts?
I was at an auction and bought a hand-knit afghan in pieces. There are 4 sections in a cable knit pattern (stockinette stitch on the sides) and each section is 12" wide by 60" long. I want to join them to make a 48 x 60 baby blanket for my new grand-daughter, who's nursery is decorated in purple and pink. What would be the best way to join the pieces? I'm not a knitter, but can crochet a little. Obviously, I won't be able to find an exact match to the purple yarn used, so will have to find a nice pink. Or is there some way to "invisibly" join them? Thanks for your help.
