addicted to my knitting

The pattern is called Sock Yarn Blanket. The pattern is continuous so there is no sewing up required. Isn't it fab?

Me too! I love knitting, I find it super soothing. I've just signed off two teenage pupils to whom I taught knitting as part of their Duke of Edinburgh award and learning a new skill. We had so much fun and they (and their mothers) are delighted with me.

Here's a fab project for leftover wool (doesn't have to be with sock wool, as long as you keep to the same weight). Photo to follow 'cause I have to hunt for it.

Another knitting addict here. I am a charity knitter so always have some project on the go, have enough yarn in my home to stock a Wool Shop!

Me too. It's just about the only craftwork I can do these days with so little sight.
I can literally do it with eyes closed.

Of course I only make simple things: hats, scarves, slippers and bags and these are turned over to the local community food bank to pass on to anyone who needs them.

I don't mind being addicted at all and it's so relaxing and therapeutic.

I've taken up knitting and crochet again recently. The modern yarns and patterns are so lovely and it is very satisfying. I had a 600+ mile car journey yesterday and when I wasn't driving, I did my knitting.

I was annoyed when it got dark and I couldn't see any more to continue. I did also consider what might happen should there be a car accident but then I thought 'Woman impaled on own knitting needles' would make a very good Daily Mail headline!

Yes love it. I've just finished some dolls clothes for my little gd. The next project is a summer top.

It seems like a great addiction to me.
When I took knitting again six years ago, after a twenty-year break, I had arthritis in my fingers and struggled. However, I found that the more I knitted, the better it got, and now my fingers no longer ache at all.

I’ve got one of the poor woman’s Fitbits, a MiFit, and I certainly can’t fool it by knitting. Only proper steps count!

I was knitting like someone possessed for a recent sale the church knitting group had ... the pins were on fire trying to get as much done as I could. Now a bit more relaxed but still knitting for the refugees again and trying to fit some knitting for the grands too.
Never like to sit doing nothing as I then get tempted to lie down on the couch!
I don't wear one, but apparently knitting fairly gets your step count up on the Fitbit thingy!!!

Yes, I always have to have a bit of knitting on the go. Currently making a blanket for DH ( his choice of wool, colour etc) for cool evenings. If at a loss ! I have made cotton face flannels, Christmas wreaths, and my default, socks . Find it very calming and I don't like just sitting

Yes, I'm a knitting addict too, there's always at least one project on the needles! Socks, mittens, blankets and the odd sweater would be my usual knits. Good for the brain, especially if following a pattern whilst simultaneously watching a scandi noir with subtitles!

I'm a bit the same. After a rather mammoth knitting blitz before last Christmas, I have a mass of different coloured yarns to use up.
So in between another Nativity set, I'm also making twiddle muffs and knitted breasts (!) for the local hospital, and the odd blanket or clothes for Gdd's baby dolls.

I'd like to make jumpers etc. for Gdcs (2 1/2 and nearly 4) but hardly ever seem to find patterns that aren't over-fussy or complicated. Apart from disliking fussy patterns I can't cope with fancy stitches at all.

I'm more hooked on sewing but go through phases. Patchwork is really my thing but since I fell down the stairs and hurt my hand I've not returned to it properly yet. Then there's the guilt about 'UFO's - unfinished objects.
Do you find that the next project is more exciting than the the one you haven't quite finished?
More self discipline is required, I feel.
Good luck with the knitting.
