Sticks
Posted October 9th, 2009 by Lisa
So, look what I went and bought yesterday.
And wouldn’t you know it? I think I may just be able to wrap my brain around the concept after all. Whoa.
Ornament-making, quilt-contemplating, and now knitting (with needles!): I think it’s going to be a crafty kind of weekend. Maybe by Monday I’ll have myself half a pair of Toasty wrist warmers.
Have a fantastic weekend, everyone!

Good luck! I’m learning to knit, too… I’m taking a sock class at my local shop, and I just can’t stop!! =) Have fun.
Ooh, that sounds like fun – I would love to try some of that self-striping sock yarn sometime.
Gasp!!! Hold on while I pick myself up off the floor…. dusting off. Wow! Yay for you! Welcome to the world of sticks – it’s a lot of fun around here.

Haha, well, I guess it just required a strong enough desire to do a fingerless mitten with a thumb
I could do one on a loom, but first I’d have to buy a tiny thumb-sized loom, and I decided learning DPNs was more acceptable than waiting 3 weeks for a made-to-order loom. Patience is not my thing!
sheesh, Lisa – most people start knitting flat pieces like scarves – you jumped right in and started a circular project on dpn’s! Color me impressed. =)
Well, I already have two scarves that I love & that’s enough for me
Let me just say, though, after spending the better part of two days ripping out, starting over, and watching knitting help videos, I can see why a flat panel would have been the more sane option.
Eh… sanity is overrated. =)
Keep at it – the sticks do get easier.
WOW!!! I am so proud of you Lisa. This is a big step for you. And…you are using three of them doing a circular knit. Even better

Big, indeed! And even bigger was that I actually went to my LYS to ask for help with the thumb – I am not one for asking, usually. I’m like a stubborn toddler in that way!
Thanks for the encouragement
Yay for you!!! Welcome to the world of needles
Thanks! I’ll keep my feet in both worlds and see how it goes
I’ve made a ton of those little toasties, but modified mine with a buttonhole-like hole for the thumb. Knit on!

Yes, me too – last year with my loom I made a whole bunch of them like that. This year, I decided it was time to try adding a real thumb.
wow….thought i would never see it!! good for you and good luck!! oh, by the way- love the napkins. very cute.
