Throwing another school idea out there
December 7th, 2007 by HeatherWe’ve done a learn to crochet school and an embroidery school.
Now who would like to do a learn to knit school?
I just want to make sure the interest is there before I put all the work into it. I think it will be slightly different in style than the learn to crochet school, but the basic idea (weekly lessons and projects) will be the same.
It wont start until after the holidays, but let me know if this is something you would be interested in by leaving a comment

Since I am the first one to comment on the post, I can tell how glad I could be, if you give us a knit scjool. I loved every project and lesson from the crochet and embroidery school. I am sure I am going to learn a lot too. Thank you in advance for your care and work.

I know (mostly) how to knit but I would be interested to learn more and get project ideas
December 7th, 2007 at 7:06 am
I would love it. I have never been able to master knitting.
December 7th, 2007 at 7:10 am
As that is my next crafting goal, I would be thrilled. Although I might not have time to participate until after the holidays… The beauty of the internet to have tutorials and schools to do at will!
December 7th, 2007 at 7:11 am
Fabulous idea!
December 7th, 2007 at 7:20 am
I’d love a knitting school. I just started leaning to cast on (again) yesterday. Perfect timing.
December 7th, 2007 at 7:36 am
That would be great! I like CJ can not seem to get the idea. It would help greatly to have somewhere to go back to time and time again. Thank you for all the hard work you do for us.

Horray! I would LOVE a knit school! I reference the crochet and embroidery school all the time.
Plus I’ve never been able to get the hang of using both hands with the needles.
December 7th, 2007 at 8:01 am
I would love, love, love a knitting school. I have been trying to teach myself but have been struggling.
This tiny swatch took me 9-10 hours:

You can tell I need help!
December 7th, 2007 at 8:05 am
Me! Me! I used your crochet school as a reference after I’d already been crocheting for 2 years, and learned a ton of things! I just learned to knit, but I only know a few things and would LOVE to learn more!
December 7th, 2007 at 8:40 am
Oh, me, too! I wanna get my learn on witchoo!
I bought the viking helmet pattern from Bella Knitting 5 months ago, before my niece was born, thinking I’d learn to knit within a 6-month timeframe and have a cool gift to give her. Pshah! I still haven’t bought any knitting needles!
December 7th, 2007 at 9:00 am
I’ve been waiting for a knitting school since you ladies started the lessons! I wish I’d been able to follow with the embroidery and crochet schools, but real school got in the way…and I’ve wanted to learn to knit for so long!
December 7th, 2007 at 9:07 am
I’ve been wanting to learn how to knit though I haven’t mastered my crocheting yet but I also want to make stuff with knitting. Please, make a lesson for this as well.
December 7th, 2007 at 9:25 am
I’d be up for it! I can knit, but I haven’t progressed much further than scarves and the occasional cat toy.
December 7th, 2007 at 9:29 am
Me me me! I have always wanted to learn!
December 7th, 2007 at 10:27 am
I’ll add my yes, yes, yes, please, please, please do it!
December 7th, 2007 at 11:08 am
I’ve been wanting to lean to knit!
December 7th, 2007 at 11:40 am
I’d be very interested!! I know the basics of the knit and the purl, but I run into problems of either not pulling tightly enough or pulling too tight and then getting frustrated and giving up. Having a “planned” lesson and others doing it at the same time would probably help me stick to it.
I’d love to see this!!!
December 7th, 2007 at 12:25 pm
Yes, please!
December 7th, 2007 at 12:45 pm
Oh, I would appreciate it so much! I haven’t done any of your other schools, but the knitting one would be one that I would be very interested in. I have tried to teach myself, and while I have yet to buy “Knitting for Dummies” that is sometimes how I feel!
December 7th, 2007 at 1:12 pm
I would absolutely be interested in a learn to knit school. I have tried a few times, but never quite gotten the hang of it. After the holidays would be perfect. It’s still really cold here, so I don’t mind having yarn around me. And I should have a bit more free time. I can’t wait!
December 7th, 2007 at 2:01 pm
yes PLEASE! yesyesyes and furthermore, yes!
December 7th, 2007 at 2:10 pm
I can knit, but I’d be interested in the school because there is ALWAYS more to learn.
December 7th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Yes definitely. My new year’s resolution is to learn to knit!
December 7th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
Oh super idea I would love that!!! I also knit but have a LOT to learn still want to graduate one day past just knitting bags!!!! hehehe!!
December 7th, 2007 at 8:05 pm
I Would love to join !!!
December 7th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
I completely enjoyed your embroidery lessons. They were clear and descriptive and easy to follow. I have incorporated several techniques into my sewing projects after viewing the series.
I have mentioned to the hubby that I would like to also attempt knitting, but he is afraid I will run out and buy every book from Amazon.
So, he and I think it would be an awesome idea.
*hugs*

I really enjoyed doing the embroidery school and would like knitting school lessons as well.
December 8th, 2007 at 3:41 am
MEEEEEEE! ME ME ME!
I’m a lurker but I’m coming out of the woodwork to say I’d love this. I have a few of those stitch and bitch books but I find it difficult because I’m in Europe and a lot of the brands and measurements don’t match.
When I was home in Canada last month my mother taught me to knit and purl so I’ve been making baby blankets… but what I REALLY want to learn is how to knit socks. I look it up online but either I have trouble figuring out what yarn to get here or something.
I really need an idiot proof, universal explaination on how to knit socks! haha
December 8th, 2007 at 5:53 am
I’d be interested as well. I can knit, but not as good as I can crochet. So I’m sure there will be plenty of things I could learn from this. Thanks so much!
December 8th, 2007 at 6:58 am
I’d like to do this.
December 8th, 2007 at 7:11 am
I think this is a fabulous idea and look forward to learning…you do such a great job! Thanks for all that you share!
December 8th, 2007 at 10:15 am
Heather,
I have been waiting for the Learn to Knit school and would absolutely LOVE it if you would do it!
December 8th, 2007 at 1:17 pm
Yes please – I’d love a learn to knit school. I’ve been trying to teach myself without much success.
December 8th, 2007 at 5:06 pm
I learned to knit and crochet when I was 16 (about 20 years ago) and have not picked up needles or hooks since then. I would love to learn all over again!!
December 8th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
I’ve done scarves and that’s it. I would love to learn more about different weights of yarn and what to do with it too.
December 9th, 2007 at 8:43 am
YES!
December 9th, 2007 at 11:48 am
I know how-to cast, purl and knit. I’d like to learn finishing techniques and about different stitches combinations.
I will not have time to participate until after the holidays. If this is your plan I’m in.
Thanks in advance.
December 9th, 2007 at 4:51 pm
Yes, please!
December 10th, 2007 at 3:56 am
This would be great. I am looking for new ways to cast on and to get past the beginner stage!
December 10th, 2007 at 4:01 am
would love it!! :d i think that’s a fabulous idea.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:45 am
I would love it. I taught myself and have only made scarves.
December 10th, 2007 at 8:57 am
Oh me! I am absolutely dreadful at knitting.
December 10th, 2007 at 5:50 pm
Count me in! I knit simple things, but my technique isn’t all that great and I’d love the flexibility of online lessons!!!! Great idea!
December 10th, 2007 at 9:29 pm
i or my boyfriend would love to!
December 11th, 2007 at 2:03 am
yes yes yes yes.
I’d love it.
In fact i’m just trying on my own and it would be wonderful to find your help and good tips.
ooohhouuuurrayyyyy!!!!!
December 11th, 2007 at 5:07 am
I would love to learn how to knit. It is one of those things I never quite learned how to do.
December 11th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Count me in!
December 11th, 2007 at 12:42 pm
An online knitting school would be lovely. My mum has taught me the basics but her patience is as fine as 2-ply baby wool and she knits so fast her fingers go all blurry and it makes my eyes hurt.
December 12th, 2007 at 7:40 pm
Oh yes please! I asked my mother to teach me but she has no idea how to go at learners speed so I learnt nothing.
December 12th, 2007 at 8:30 pm
Yes please.
December 13th, 2007 at 8:06 am
I would love to learn to knit! Yes. Yes.!
December 18th, 2007 at 7:01 am
I’d be pleased as all get out. I can do knit stitches, but I keep forgetting how to purl (and I really want to learn knitting on a circular needle one day, for sock making…sigh…)
December 18th, 2007 at 8:12 pm
Oh goodness sign me up…I want to learn to knit so bad!
December 28th, 2007 at 10:26 am
sounds good to me !
January 1st, 2008 at 11:22 am
Yes, yes, yes!
January 22nd, 2008 at 3:10 am
That would be wonderful! I really want to learn how to knit!
January 24th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
I would love to learn how to knit! Great idea
January 31st, 2008 at 6:06 am
Thanks for sharing
February 15th, 2008 at 8:48 am
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:

A lot of different persons understand some techniques of free term papers composing, nevertheless that does not mean they are able compose supreme quality papers, however a essay writing service should help to accomplish the argumentative essay of great quality and demonstrate writing ability of students.

Please do this!

Day pass is the result of a new research, have a negative impact on human health than smoking duymayalım has discovered. In particular, studies in recent years, pregnant women, infants and children, second-hand smoke exposure for passive or even an enormous amount of damage is revealed.
Ignoring these facts, both to ourselves, as well as adults around us, let’s not forget that we have pregnant women and harm to children. Let’s read and quoted from various sources around the scientific facts that explain in addicts.
