I have need of some knitting expertise and I need someone who could actually sit down and show me, not just try and explain it over e-mail. I'll be at BR happy hour/presentation tonight. Is there anyone who might sit and give me some time if you're going to be there tonight?

BTW, I picked my knitting back up because I've stopped smoking - we're on day 2.

*argh* there are moments so intense makes me want to scream - and then there are moments I don't even think about it....

thanks for the encouragement :)

I'll show you babe. I'll be there. Do you have yarn/needles with you or do you need to borrow?

I have basic skills and I have what I need - I'm just having a hard time getting started on this new project. Thanks, I'll see you tonight.

We shall see if your project is beyond me as well.

Congratulations on your decision! :-)

You've given me an idea -- because, surely, if I could learn how to knit, that would be something to divert me from recreational eating from time to time or just to better handle the sheer nervousness that's been overtaking me lately.

(Knitting probably works better for this purpose than, say, beading, although I'd like to learn that, too.)

I can teach you the basics of knitting ...beyond that .. not so much, but I'm learning.

Yay!!I'm on week 39, and in large part thanks to knitting ~ it honestly did help pass the time during the urges. I stink as a knitter and won't be at the meeting, but if there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

awwww I'd love to help you knit! Though we won't be at the meeting...
I finished my first project not long ago, and was pretty damn proud.
I'm now reworking a scarf... its a pain in the ass, and will teach me to get it right the first time!

*hugs* I'll have to be sure and toss my knitting into my bag the next time we get down to the club...

I'm glad to hear you've stopped smoking. Can't help you with the knitting, though, it takes two hands and I'm just not that coordinated.

see you this weekend babe?

That's the plan.

That is most excellent! Call me selfish, but your quitting smoking means you'll be around and healthier much longer to be friends with.

Not sure we've mentioned this, but we have a Monday night craft group . . .*every* monday night . . . .lots of people who know how to do lots of things! Not to mention some great company and good massages to be had! Call it "replacement therapy" :)

I'm big into crochet so wouldn't be very good help for the knitting thing. There is also a small little anti-fidgeter that i've used in the past that makes "rope". Depending on the yarn/string i use, i can actually have that in my purse to work on when i can't sit still. It's easy and eventually is one of those things you barely need to keep much of an eye on so you can still be talking to people or whatever while doing it.

Hugs to you!

Hope so. Right now, no good idea when my office issues are going to be solved.

Knitting is so much better than smoking. Good for you.

Peace...

But, it can get you into trouble as well. Did you hear about the eldery woman who was arrested with crotchet needles on an airplane shortly after 9/11 ?

She was knitting an Afghan!!!!

BWAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

Kniting, yes, smoking no, pearl two.

Or, something like that.

I hope to see you while I'm up.

I'm coming up on my no-smoking anniversary of 18 years! I filled it with lots of crafts, knitting, crocheting, needlepoint, sewing.
Hope it goes well. You've got a ton of support here.
