My first knitting (with a knifty knitter)

[ostera15]

I have never knit anything before. The one time I tried the needles got all tangled up, I made a mess, got really frustrated and gave up. But I love the way knitted and crochet items look (nope can't do that either) and I really wanted to make something. People on the Post on everyboard craftalong were posting about the Knifty Knitter looms, so I went out a found one of those. I love how easy it was to do even for a beginner, and just maybe after a few more times of using it I will work up the curage to try the needles or hooks again. But on to the picture, for a basic beginning item I picked a scarf that is going to be given to  my sister.



Thanks for looking

Congratz on finishing your first project! Looks really nice, and you should try knitting on needles again, you'll get the hang of it soon, I'm sure. Once you do it a couple of times, you're hooked! (crochet pun, hahah) Good luck!

Yes indeed! Good start... don't give up on the needles. You can do it!!! And I love the color of your scarf. If you have a privately owned yarn store around you, they will usually be willing to help you, providing you buy something. Try starting out with a basic yarn and a size 8-10 needle. Like a yarn that doesn't separate too much. Simply Soft separates, but that cheezy red heart doesn't , as much. that's why it's good for practicing on.

I LOVE my Knifty Knitters.  Have the long looms, and even the specialty ones. After learning to loom knit on those I wanted to try and knit the "old fashioned" way.

Your sister's scarf is beautiful, I love the color you chose. Thumbs Up.

Beautiful job!

If it is the look you are going for and you aren't going to expand to making more challenging things, I think the knifty knitter is great!

But, I have a feeling that after tons of scarves and hats, that you are going to want to expand your skills...ha ha--warning: knifty knitting leads to knitting addiction!!

it came out so lovely. the color is very vibrant, i love it. keep on trying! i find that watching videos helps, keeping an eye on how they hold the needles.
