Introducing knitting friends
So happy to be back for #needleworkmonday thanks to @crosheille. This is so exciting for me.
Well, I acidentally washed my husband's nice cap so I will probably have to make him one. As you may know my last post was my 1st in this section.
I will bring you up to date on some current knitting projects I am doing soon. Right now I want to share with you some work of my friends.
Sharing with you "The Yarn Shop" ran by Mittra Nguen. Needle workers of all kind gather to share time and the craft. There are also classes offered. I met a few of them and here is some of what they are doing.
Sandy took me across to a store to show me some of her finished work. The three little dresses are hers.
She is currently working on an adult sweater and I am thinking of making one.
Some other projects by needleworkers
This wool felted cap is drying, first knitted and then felted. Looks like a lot of fun to me.
Melody is making this hat for "Knit One Cure One", a charity organization on facebook for breast cancer research.
She is using size 3 needles and fingering weight sock yarn. What I really like is the little charm on the stitch marker. She told me you can get the metal stick markers online and then add the charms. I am in. :)

Thank you much appreciated.
Absolutely!
Oh some days I wish I had this talent! My maternal grandma and mother crocheted, knitted and did needlework, but somehow the crafty translation got lost with me.
It seems to soothe me nowadays. Like I say for some reason it clicked this year.
This post is sponsored by @SteemitBloggers in collaboration with @appreciator. Just keep up the good work.
Thank you sooo appreciated.
You can find the community announcement on Discord :) and it has also been shared on our Steemit Bloggers FB Page and Twitter feed.
Thank you... my family :)
I like knitting. Any activity that involves concentration and repetition is calming, therefore is lowering high blood pressure and the overall anxiety level.
agreed .. it really relaxes me. Being around other knitters makes it even more fun. I wish you were closer we could knit together @starjewel
love you and support you, upvote and resteem ❤
Thank you for all you do for me :) Love you too.
I like them, the hat it's quite hippye style, lovely, the children coat looks really cute, uff i am not able to kitting but my mom do it quite well ^^ She knitted to me many scarfs and hats, lovely.
So fun. I never really got into it. I would try and something clicked for me finally. I really love it. Thanks for your comment. Yes, a lot of retired hippies live where I am lol. Tye dye is very popular here also.
I never picked up knitting. I think it is because it isn't very big in this part of the world. Here it is more crochet.
I really like the colours on Melody's hat.
Thank you for sharing @rebeccabe :D
I never picked it up either until a few years back a short while after taking lessons. I also did a little crochet last year. Some of the people do both or just crochet. It is a matter of being there when they are. There are classes offered in that too. I started to lean toward knitting for some reason.
You could post some of your work on Mondays. It is fun :) I look forward to seeing it.
I have to confess it was more Mum’s thing and I used to just sit with her when I was younger and do less complicated patterns compared to hers.
But when became an adult, and moved away to the city, other things started filling up my days
I don’t know if I will get back into it...
Who knows ...
But I look forward to seeing some of your work 😊
I do simple things and am learning. It is more of a relaxing deal for me.
Thanks for using eSteem!

Nice things. I like knitting things for babies and toddlers with a yoke - you can use it as a design element to make the cardi look
You are really experienced. your Vulcan glove is creative.
