Knit, Crochet and Natter Thread

I was hoping to join a local rl knit&natter group, and then lockdown happened. Sad But knitting and crochet are keeping me cheerful during lockdown and as the nights are drawing in!

There seem to be quite a few ongoing chat threads on other MN boards, so I wondered if there might be any interest in a rolling knitting and crochet thread, for anyone who fancies chatting about knitting, crochet and life in general of course! Total beginners and scarily experienced needle-wizards and everyone in between, all welcome.

Share your projects, yarn stash confessions, pattern niggles or newbie questions. Not sure if it will fizzle out after a few posts, but hey ho, worth a try!

@Kate105

So here’s a new one... I’ve been asked to knit a tiny bobble hat to go on a gear stick for a Fiat 500! Apparently this is a thing now?!
I notice you've avoided calling it a knob cover... 😂🤣

If anything good came from 2020 its the knowledge that gear stick hats are a thing Grin

Can you imagine explaining if you had an accident? "I put my hand on the knob cover when I tried to shift and it slipped..." You'd get done for indecent exposure and dangerous driving all at once Wink

Yes was definitely trying to avoid the term “knob cover”...! Feel a little grubby now I’ve made it!

Merry Christmas one and all! I hope you all get what you want from Santa... Especially if it’s a knob cover 😂😂😂

PS tiny hats are very quick to make so could be an excellent last minute stocking filler!

PPS still feel very grubby about all this 😂

That is one stylish knob!

bruffin · 24/12/2020 17:04

that is a very cute knob!

SoupDragon · 24/12/2020 17:05

That doll has a lovely hat but I'm sure he would come alive at midnight and do something evil. Like sing his greatest hits.

bruffin · 24/12/2020 17:07

Definitely Soupdragon, he is evil version of Elf on the Shelf.

Lovely knob cover. Xmas Grin

Merry Christmas everyone! I would normally be knitting at this time of the evening, but I don't knit under the influence and I've had a couple of glasses of wine. Smile Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow!

That knob cover looks like the golf club covers my sister asked me to make her one year

Merry Christmas a Nadolig Llawen, all! Lurking more than posting but I'm really enjoying this thread 😊

Wednesday night I had the overwhelming urge to knit a jumper. I've not knit for probably 20 years ! 9.15 yesterday morning I was in the wool shop and bought wool, pattern and needles. Started last night, I'm on row 4 and gone wrong already !! 😂😂

bruffin · 25/12/2020 09:09

Merry Christmas.

DS only got one sock in his stockingGrin but he will get the other next week now.

I sent my mum wool and needles to knit a cardi for her new great grandchild. She admitted to casting on 3 times 😂 I bet the real count was higher than that. I don't think she's knitted for about 20 years either.

Happy Christmas 🎄

ginislife - I can definitely identify with impulse knitting projects and the subsequent need to buy yarn immediately. !

Helocariad - nice to see you delurking, and Nadolig Llawen i chi hefy, if I've got that right!

Thanks @lazylinguist. My Vicar has said she's determined to use it in Church next year Grin. I've probably got enough yarn left to make her one of her own. Did anyone get any nice crochet/knitting gifts? I got a drinks coaster that says "I crochet so I don't kill people" Grin. I can't say its not true. And some things that hold the yarn, erm... a ring thing. Not sure how to use them. My mum thought they might be good.

Hope you've all had a yarny day Xmas Grin
