Welcome to the KnittingHelp forum! ...Introduce yourself!

Welcome to all of our new members.:hug:

I’m Janaya. I’m 30, I live in the Seattle area, and I knit obsessively in my free time. :smiley: While knitting, I like to read forums (mothering and wooly wonders), so I thought I’d add this one to the mix. The videos on this website were KEY to learning to knit a couple of years ago, and still are when I need to learn a new technique. :smiley:

Anyway, hello!

Welcome Janaya.:hug:

Hi, my name is Bronwyn! :smiley: I’m a SAHM with three kids from Barrie, Ontario. I’m an active community member on thebabywearer.com and am active locally for babywearing advocacy. Now that my youngest is 26 months, I need to find a new hobby and a good friend suggested knitting! :slight_smile: I know the very basics, such as how to knit and purl, and cast on/off, but it’s been six years since I’ve touched a pair of needles. I can’t wait to learn more about it. I’ll be going shopping tomorrow for supplies and will be looking around for ideas on simple beginner projects.

This is an awesome site, the videos are amazingly helpful! I look forward to learning from all of you wise knitters! :love:

Just saying Hi.
I just rediscovered knitting (learned 40 years ago). I’ve been cross stitching instead.
I just completed my first pair of socks and I’m loving it.

I live in Orange County, NY and I’m a teaching assistant in a high school. I have a DH, a DS 16 and two labs.

Just wanted to introdece myself. I’ve only been knitting for about six months now, and KnittingHelp has been my ever-constant resource. Looking forward to sharing ideas on the forum!

This site has been a big help to me as I’m just getting over the mountain of learning the basics. It’s been great and has cleared up a lot of stuff that books make far too confusing. The videos are EXCELLENT! I’ve still got tons of questions and I’m glad that there is a place like the forums where people like me can go.

hello everyone!! I have been trying to learn how to knit for many,many,many years and was unable to understand books until I found this site with videos!!! Wow what a help!!! I just started yesterday and I know how to cast on and to make 1 row!!! YEAH!! I have yet to try on the second row or how to purl but I guess it will get better:cheering::shrug: Is there any other online videos that I can use to HELP ME!! Hope to here from you!

Hello All,

This is my first posting. I have lots of questions even after I read directions. I started with crocheting as a child and remember it pretty well, but there are so many lovely things to knit…

Hi everyone :slight_smile:

I’m a new knitter here - found out about the forum while browsing for knitting resources on the Internet. I’m new to ‘serious’ knitting, in that it was only recently that I bought a book on knitting and crochet and planned my first project (a hoodie - as soon as I can get into town to buy some more yarn!) I remember my grandmother teaching me how to knit when I was very young so I’ve always known how to do the stitches but I’ve spent the past couple of days using up all my stray bits of yearn refreshing my memory :slight_smile:

So… my name’s Sarah (most people call me Siz though, hence the name) I’m 19 and I live in England, dividing my time between Birmingham where I study French, Spanish and Japanese, and Kent where my parents live. Next year though, I’m off travelling as part of my course - I wonder if knitting’s a big thing in Japan? :oo: Besides knitting I play music - piano, flute, guitar, viola (and tinwhistle in a folk band!) and read… mostly in English, but not always :stuck_out_tongue: I also plan to have a go at crochet this summer, just because I love the results, so wish me luck with that… :lol:

Anyway, I look forward to talking to you :smiley:

hello everyone from New Zealand!!!

I only stumbled across this forum just now as I was searching for help on the project (well one of them!) on my needles at the moment - the cutey Amanda’s Squatty Sidekick pattern. I first started knitting when I coveted all the beautiful knitted woollen covers for the modern cloth nappies (that’s the cc part of my username - cloth convert) i use on my then only child but could not justify the price for them so in desperation learnt how to knit - that was back in 2004. Love the craft, but just can’t seem to find enough time to do all the many things I’d like to do. I was for a long time a one knitting project going kinda gal, but currently, I have 4 projects I am working on!

Looking forward to hanging out here :slight_smile:

Hi, all! What a wonderful site! Too bad I didn’t find it before. Anyway, thanks to the videos and posts I’m becoming more confident in my knitting and want to try new projects. So far, I’ve knitted I don’t know how many scarves…many, many. So I’m counting on your help. :hug:

Hi Siz! What a coincidence. Your first paragraph is very much what has happened to me. I’m sure we’ll benefit tremendously from this site and also make great friends. Te deseo mucha suerte y exitos en tus clases de idiomas, especialmente espaniol que es mi idioma. Soy de Guatemala, Centro America y ven a visitarnos tambien. Un abrazo!

Hi my name is Cathy i just came across this site looking for the meaning of MB & CO in knitting i come from Australia so its very hard when i find a knitting pattern i like and i don’t know what the meaning is could any one tell me the meaning please

Hi, everyone. I’ve only been knitting for a couple of months now.

So far I’ve completed three scarves (of a very large knit on plastic needles) and two hats (on a loom). Those quick projects help motivate me in picking up those skills.

I’ve been improving on my form, adding new skills and working out those typical beginner mistakes by making practice panels with worsted weight yarn on smaller needles. (My purl stitch is not so enchanting right now.)

I was working with a Susan Bates “Learn to Knit” kit and trying to gain some insight with YouTube videos, when this site was recommended to this site by a friend. The site is so helpful and absolutely beautiful and cleanly designed from tip to toe. :muah: Thank you so much.

Oh, two more things: I’m a left-handed knitter and I have yarn addiction. :drool:

Welcome to our Forum :hug: There are lots of Aussies here. Maybe some of them will wander by and introduce themselves.

Our glossary is tabbed right above us. MB is defined as make bobble. Could it be M1B which is make one behind?. I’m going to copy your post to the Pattern Central forum. To get there press the forum tab and select Pattern Central. I’m going to title your post “Meaning of MB and CO”

Good Luck
