I've tried to Knit but could never quite get the hang of holding an manipulating the 2 needles. So, I taught myself to Loom Knit, (love it). I just tried my hand a Knooking an it's AWESOME. I'm handicapped so now this gives me something new to play with during day. Thank You for giving me the best of both worlds.Hotstuff4454https://www.blogger.com/profile/09508443830302379722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899753716841961914.post-41341216505677750882011-11-07T18:18:28.946-06:002011-11-07T18:18:28.946-06:00Wow this looks cool, Id love to learn how to use t...Wow this looks cool, Id love to learn how to use this!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899753716841961914.post-30568512546875619352011-11-07T15:21:36.902-06:002011-11-07T15:21:36.902-06:00I'm a Diehard HOOKER! :-D However, after 40 y...I'm a Diehard HOOKER! :-D However, after 40 years of not doing it, I've recently tried my hand at Knitting again...

An elderly woman used to sit on her front porch and crochet everyday, I was so in awe by her work that one day I just walked up and sat down beside her to watch. Instead of asking me to leave, to my surprise without a word she handed me my own needle and string!! I have never forgotten that moment. Everyday she was out there she taught me more but then we moved. I went to see her a fe times after but I never found her on the porch again.MOUNDSBARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420796936818840023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-899753716841961914.post-47273317874548825512011-11-07T05:15:09.174-06:002011-11-07T05:15:09.174-06:00I crochet and start knitting projects but rarely f...I crochet and start knitting projects but rarely finish because of technical issues.
