I live in Plymouth, Indiana and I am 62 years old. I have crocheted for over 40 years and am attempting to learn how to knit but since I am used to holding my yarn in my left hand to crochet, I wanted to learn the continental method. I could not load the videos on site so I ordered the cd…it is fantastic! I highly recommend it to all.
Hi Arlene! I’m always happy to see a fellow Hoosier on the KH forum. I used to live in Ft Wayne, but am now in Indianapolis. Hope you visit KH again soon! :waving:
:waving: Hey Arlene, Welcome to the forum! I’ve been knitting for a bit over a year and have been a member of this forum since this April; but I NEVER even looked at one of Amy’s help videos until a very dear friend gave me a cd…always came here to chat!!
WELL…I agree with you…it is AMAZING!! I am an English knitter and have learned Continental from Amy’s cd, too! I wish you loads of luck and lots of fun. And if u have any questions…there are lots of smart knitters around to help.
GET OUT!!! Greenwood’s not big, either! My aunt was the (librarian?) at the HS there for YEARS…she just retired about a year ago. They are on Waterbrook way.
Welcome Arlene–I’m so glad you got the cds! :happydance: I did too–before I got DSLs I really needed them because they loaded too slowly Now that I have DSLs I enjoy the computer more, but I’m glad to have the cds at my disposal. Amy’s wonderful at showing how to knit.
I crocheted for nearly 35 years, and I love to knit so much more. I think knitted items always come out softer than crocheted no matter what yarn is used. I’m 55–and obviously-you’re never too old to learn something new. Especially when it gives you so much pleasure.
[size=2]I already searched your posts for mentions of LYS’s and checked out Sheep Street’s website, darlin. :oops: REALLY…who do ya think you’re dealin with here? :roflhard: [/size]
I agree, the website needs some help! But the place is just beautiful. Mass Ave Knit Shop has a much better selection (the place is huge!), but it’s always kinda chaotic when I go in there. It seems like there are a million people and just one staff person. Sheep Street is very serene, nestled in the countryside. And they have Sheep there! What more could you ask for?
