Knitters/Crocheters

I know that there are a few of you.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm attempting some new things. I'm actually using patterns now, where before I just knitted whatever came about. Big Grin

I'm beginning to realize that I only have small needles and I'm becoming a yarn snob.

I knitted a hat for my nephew, one for myself (no patterns), a baby-carrier (no pattern), and now I'm going to start working on some fingerless gloves.

Anyone else? Any deals on good yarn, needles, etc.?

I found a bunch of crocheted flowers if you all want to try them. They are kinda cute. The first one looks like I may be able to do it. It has step by step pics for idiots like me.Stick Out Tongue

Super nice! And your top is cute too.
Quote from redjen910 :
I picked up a new sweater pattern to knit one of those longer, wrap type sweaters that are popular now. Trying to decide if I want to attempt it. I currently have one afghan to put together before christmas and another one half knit for another gift.

Great jobs BarbaraJean and JE!!!
Thanks, guys. Smilie

Hmmm, I'll try those knitting those flowers one of these days. I just began working on a headband last night. Im half way done.

Yea, socks are kinda scary looking to me.

I just used the 50% off Michaels coupons to buy myself a circular knitting needles set ($38) and a crochet needles set ($18) yesterday. So glad I got it half off, but it's still a little pricey for me. Before, I've only owned a size US8 and a US6. I've been debating for a while if I should get them, and decided that I'll probably be knitting/crocheting for the rest of my life, so might as well get all the different sizes of needles cheap instead buying them individually at an expensive price.

I was going to say that it's hard for them to find socks, but your answer works too laugh out loud
I love your humor...

I have always wanted to learn to knit or crochet but I never could get the hang of it...

I still haven't taken any pictures. I added kitty ears and tassels to the other hat I knitted for my stepdaughter. So, now one stepdaughter has a pink and purple hat with a tassle for Christmas, and the other one has a Black hat with kitty ears and a tassle!

I love the headband!!!!

Comfort Start knitting. It's not so hard. The headband is actually the 2nd thing I've ever knitted. The scarf was the first. I just learned this past April.
