I knit and felt bags and give to anyone who will take them. Here are some: Next I am teaching myself needle felting.
My 10 y/o got an knitting machine for her birthday. It works ok for a while, and she made a couple of cute scarves, but then it drops a lot of stitches. So she wants to learn to knit. She got a cd, but we can't figure it out. We looked it up on-line...still don't know what to do!!!
We need to find someone who can knit to teach her, or get her signed up for a class. Any suggestions?

I just started using a Knifty Knitter knitting ring last month and have already made 2 scarves.
In regards to your daughter's knitting machine, it may be that she needs to pull the carriage across more steadily - get into a good rhythm! It might also benefit from a good oiling and clean up!
I do both hand and machine knitting! Been hand knitting for as long as I can remember and got my knitting machine the other year for ease and speed of my experiments for uni!
Abigail, those bags are beautiful!

abbie those bags are great and it looks like we just as mad as each other and i hve found since havin cats they luv my knittin wool to play with lol
well, i know how to knit - but i'm really bad at finishing projects!
Laureen, that sounds like me! I started knitting my son a nice warm winter scarf in the fall of 2004. It was supposed to be one of his Christmas presents that year, but right now it's sitting on top of my dresser because I never finished it!
exactly! i started a poncho for my niece in the fall of 2005. it was going to be a christmas present...then a birthday present...still haven't finished it & her birthday was last week. it's about 1/2 done. for her birthday i gave her a learn to knit book, some needles, some yarn & a bag to keep it all in.
I love knitting, but haven't done so in so long. I won't be doing any for a while either, the knitting gear is all boxed up in case we decide to move.

I couldn't help but laugh!!
I bet you're hoping that you can move soon, so that you can find all your things again!
I can't knit but I was trying to learn how to crochet. I kind of gave up on it. I think if I had more time (ha!) I might pick it up more. It was just taking too much concentration for my eyes and brain! I know I just need to practice and it would get easier....
