My mom's in assisted living and her women's group there could use this pattern easy!I think the sturdiness of the cotton makes it easier for older hands, do you think?Inky077https://www.blogger.com/profile/04756079306426655295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-79149282696121371292011-07-12T11:31:32.322-04:002011-07-12T11:31:32.322-04:00That's a great gift!

LOL! Also Lily's Sugar N' Cream yarn is always on sale at Michaels for 4 for $5 for the regular skeins. It is on sale this week! How can you go wrong? But then I need every color imaginable.<br /><br />Another good use for that yarn is monsters!!!! I'm hoping to finish some monster chunks tonight!Diane Uhttp://uselesscrafts.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-23891888155909646422011-07-11T16:46:11.102-04:002011-07-11T16:46:11.102-04:00Hi Erin :D Thanks for dropping by..I love your blo...Hi Erin :D Thanks for dropping by..I love your blog! Since I've made the two cloths, a lot of my friends and family have started requesting them..LOL. I worry about when I start socks and sweaters. <br />What's a song they do? I tried finding them on You Tube but only found civil war re-enactment stuff. I love discovering new music :D <br />~AmyAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003181999603861937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-15972520619142052602011-07-11T04:14:32.633-04:002011-07-11T04:14:32.633-04:00Hi Amy!

(Although they do drop hints that they'd like me to make them some and will get me the yarn/color they want!) It a great way to begin learning new stitches and for a newbie, the time to complete the project is short, so you feel successful and not overwhelmed.<br />I was looking at your profile and noticed that you like a band my daughter likes, so I have to tell you about this band she is obsessed with... not sure if it is to your liking or not, but go find Civil War on Youtube and give a listen. I have been listening over the weekend and I too have become obsessed. They will be coming to Newport this summer.<br />Happy beach knitting! erinAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14037559085102995318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-27074086285907515582011-07-10T01:40:40.409-04:002011-07-10T01:40:40.409-04:00Really cool Amy!

You just do a search and it has cool videos on how to do knitting stuff. It's been really helpful, especially seeing it done rather than pictures or descriptions.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621087122131696001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-74957980987242842502011-07-09T23:53:14.048-04:002011-07-09T23:53:14.048-04:00Thanks Kim :) I'm going to start your pink clo...Thanks Kim :) I'm going to start your pink cloth this week.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13003181999603861937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-673966415825003543.post-31414084583489566882011-07-09T23:21:04.694-04:002011-07-09T23:21:04.694-04:00I love it.

My sis once sent me this really nice lavender laundry soap from the island she lives on and I was over the moon for it.

If you go back through my blog to the first few posts it'll catalogue my attempt at learning. I tried to teach myself from a book, but had no clue what it wanted me to do..then I tried by youtube video but that didn't work for me either, so I signed up for classes. But now that I know what I'm doing I turn to youtube all the time to figure out a new stitch :) I'd say try with youtube first then look into classes if that doesn't work. <br />I like the Stitch 'n Bitch books by Debbie Stoller.<br />It's very relaxing and satisfying once you figure it out.

Or can I buy "knitting for dummies" or something of the sort?Mrs. Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216512410572664978noreply@blogger.com
