hello all! I am a newbie to the forum, and although I have been knitting for over a year, still feel like a newbie knitter. I am looking for advice on branching out from the knit stitch! I have just recently tried purl, but it seems extremely difficult :grrr: Is that because I knit english style?
Also, does a hat count as knitted if it was done on the knifty knitter? :eyebrow: I never have been able to get the hang of the circ needles, even tho the lys lady has tried repeatedly to show me. there is a fantastic pattern in the Ready Set Knit book for a hat, but since I am scared of dpn’s and havent’ learned any other stitches other than the knit stitch I am apprehensive :verysad:
Also, I am sooooo envious of all of your fo’s, I keep looking and they are all so wonderful! i would post my own but they are all just scarves in the knit stitch, which I am sure you have all seen before! :wall:
Welcome to the forum!!! Check out Amy’s videos at the top tabs for help with purling, and knitting in the round.
Welcome to the forum. 
You will enjoy it here. Everybody is very helpful!
I think I need to get new glasses I thought your name was MurderKnitter!
:roflhard:
I had been knitting garter stitch stuff for a few years before I found this place and worked up the nerve to branch out. In the few months that I’ve been here I’ve learned decreases, increases, cables, DPN’s, double-knitting, and a few other things. The videos are great and the people here are super helpful. 
thanks guys for the welcome! lol maybe I should be Murder knitter-I seem to murder almost everything I try to knit a few times before it gets done! 
I will try to get into some of those videos this weekend I think. The cast on video actually showed me how I had been casting on wrong, so I can see how much they could help me with other things! 
Welcome to the forum. I am quite new here too. Its a great place so friendly and helpful.
Someone told me ‘you can knit anything’. All the info is here on video. The people here know so much too!
Have a go at something rated easy and have a go!!
I too am fed up with scarfs :teehee: :teehee:
Its nice to meet you. Practice makes perfect!!!

I thought it said the same thing…
Welcome to the forum!!! :cheering:
Welcome! :waving:
Welcome to KH :waving:
:waving: Welcome! Once I found Amy’s site, I found myself obsessed with learning new techniques! I didn’t necessarily want to do a technique because it was part of a pattern I was trying, I just wanted to know how to do different things. It’s that same geeky part of me that likes reading patterns just to see if I can understand how to do them! If I come across something I’m not sure about :?? , I start looking for an Amy video
Push through the fear! It’s amazing how much each new technique really does open up a new set of patterns. We all still make mistakes. Just treat them as opportunities to learn.
Post your pictures! We would love to see them! I know I get excited when we have new knitters cause I remember the victory of those grater stitch scarfs! It’s neat to see eachother grow and learn. And I think having people cheer our early efforts helps us to grow!
Welcome! You’ll learn a lot here, and have fun too.
