Craft club topic of the month - knitting!

I would like to stop by if there's enough room? I may perhaps bring some knitting equipment - not that I really know what to do with it much - or would be up for baking, definitely. Understand if it will be too crowded though so don't want to take up room of other regular attendees :)
 
Himself has booked the time off.

Ok, I told someone I was going to bring something along to the next meet and i can't remember who or what. Would the person who I said this to please kick me and tell me what it was.
 
brilliant :) (sorry gg you can't make it). wrysmile please come along!
great toggle that you got the time off.

will pm adress soon, also will pm everyone else i can think of.

is 1500 a good time to start?
 
Not sure about the 10th yet, I may have band practice.

Meanwhile... I've finished this jumper, at least the actual knitting, which was quite straightforward really and has come out about the right size. But I'm really struggling with the crocheted edging, I just can't get to grips with it. I keep having to stop to look up how to do the stitches, and then finding at the end of each section that I've got too few stitches or something. I think I overestimated my crocheting ability...

Why do I have this delusion that I can alter patterns? I've just bought the new Rowan mag, meaning to knit this:

i have send a text to innit. i don't know about MS T?

if i am getting home in time i will bake a little cake :)

Looking forward to it too! Could I bring a friend, Choc? Feel free to say no. She is very nice and quite crafty though.

Also, is anyone bringing a camera, as I've more or less finished the jumper now and could really do with a couple of photos of it :)

I say finished... it is of course too short, as jumpers are always too short for me, so I may have to cut the bottom off and knit down (I have seen instructions for doing this on the internet... I'm a bit nervous though!).
 
I'll bring along my camera Ruby :)

Could you bring that batting/wadding you said you'd found? There wasn't any in the fabric shop down the road - ta :)

i'd unpick the edge rather than cut,
 
Ok, I'm not going to amke it this afternoon. I had thought my cold was on it's way out and now the rampaging snots have returned with a vengeance. I'll stay at home instead of sharing.
 
That was a lovely afternoon...:) Thanks to Choc for hosting, loaning me knitting needles and the lovely fruit cake. Thanks to Eme for teaching me to knit and patiently keeping me on course, hopefully next time I'll have practised and improved a tad!!
 
Cheers choc - was a lovely afternoon. And thanks for the little tutorial eme - the pinwheel is well on it's way now :)
Hope you feel better soon toggle.
 
*bump*

Probably a silly question, but I've got a pattern that says use 3mm needles, no mention of dpn's, then later it says join for knitting in the round. Does that mean I do have to use dpn's?
 
It's something very small though, and don't have the right size needles (and want to do it tonight - I am the lady with no patience! :oops:)... have found a nice pattern using normal needles though :)
 
I've been a knitting knut recently. Now I have a phone with a camera, I've also gone back and taken photos of lots of my old knitting projects and put them on Flickr so I can show them off on Ravelry: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rubytoogood/sets/72157605819865083/

I bought enough wool for two jumpers in the sales (Kidsilk Spray in blue and Kidsilk Night in grey/silver sparkly) and a copy of the Kidsilk Dream book, and am now trying to decide what to knit:

Or possibly Spook from Rowan 43:

Or something else...
 
Spookily, I'm having the same dilemma. I like Spook, but it makes the model look huge, so god help me :eek: I bought the Kidsilk dream book last week to try to find something different :D

I'mactually using the Colinette very fine mohair, though, not KSH.
