KNITSTER

I gave up knitting two years ago because of problems I was having in my neck, which translated into near disability of my hands. Pinched nerves, degenerative spinal arthritis, the beginnings of a hunchback–I was profoundly upset by all of it. So I gave up knitting, spent a lot of time in physical therapy and [...]

I hadn’t realized that nobody had written here since, well, last year, just around Thanksgiving time. I suppose it was a busy holiday season and new year for us Knitsters! This is not to say that we weren’t busy with knitting activities. Okay, so I can only speak for myself. But actually I was knitting [...]

Hello KNITSTER fans!
We’re all still here, just very busy with life and knitting, of course. I have put down the lace and the socks in favor of getting some holiday knitting done. Since I know none of the recipients are reading, I am in the process of making 3 scarves and a bunch [...]

Here you go:

Sorry for the blurry photo. That’s the best I could do with my cheap camera. But you can see it doesn’t quite look right, and this is after I tried to figure out how to rescue it. Becky has now taught me about a “lifeline”. Wish I had known or thought of [...]

I’m rather upset. I’ve learned something about my knitting skills tonight. The main thing is this: don’t try to knit lace while watching the World Series of your favorite team possibly winning but in the rain, ‘cuz you’ll mess up your lace project. That’s what happened to me tonight.
I wasn’t even cheering or anything. [...]

We were at a family birthday party today. It turns out 3 people in my husband’s extended side of the family had a birthday today. So, we traversed down towards the shore, and ate, drank (soda) and were merry.
I had brought my Mystic Waters project with me. I’m not as far as Becky is [...]

Hello fellow Knitsters!
It’s been a while since any of us have posted. This is not to say that we are abandoning Knitster.org. Au contraire! It’s called, “We-have-a-busy-life-outside-of-knitting-but-we-squeeze-in-knitting-when-we-can-but-don’t-always-post-about-it.” Or at least, that’s what I call it.
I have been venturing more into challenging myself to do something different. Expand my horizons. Push the envelope. You get [...]

Well, while it doesn’t seem like the Knitsters are doing much, this is far from the truth. We’re all just busy ladies, that’s all! But, we still manage to get some knitting and other creative activities done when we can, for sure. I’ve not only been knitting, but learning how to sew, and trying to [...]

One thing I’ve always enjoyed when I have the opportunity to visit my local IKEA store is that they always have a display out (or at least this past year they have) of a makeshift yarn store, and how you can use various shelving and office furniture that they have for such a business setup. [...]

Well, if you are a diehard knitter who has more advanced skills than I do, perhaps you aren’t crazy. But for me, I added something to my queue on Ravelry…and in reality…as something that I wanted to do. It’s the first time I actually bought a pattern for something that didn’t come out of a [...]
