<p>I cross stitch and sew, so maybe I can learn to knit. I was REALLY good at macram</p>
<p>I haven’t cross stitched in years , but I loved it and was decent at it. Tried quilting - loved the hand quilting but didn’t love machine work (of course my machine was a cheap more basic than basic model)</p>
<p>MD Mom, I can’t cross stich or sew, and my one attempt at macrame back in the day ended in total defeat and humiliation. </p>
<p>Yet I knit, so … YOU CAN KNIT !</p>
<p>(PS If MD stands for medical doctor, then you passed organic chemistry. If you can pass organic chemistry you can knit!)</p>
<p>MD = Maryland. I changed my major because of chemistry.</p>
<p>I never attempted college chemistry. And I still knit! :)</p>
<p>If you need inspiration, go to Ravelry (dot) com. It’s the best!</p>
<p>I think I’m ready to break out my knitting basket! I bought knitting needles of various sizes at a thrift store recently and now I’m trying to choose a quick project to get me going. Last year, my friends and I made infinity scarves. I may make more, only “fancier”! Thanks to this thread!</p>
<p>This has been inspirational…I have not knitted for 20+ years but am going to start again with infinity scarves for Christmas presents as a result of seeing this thread.</p>
<p>You people are making me so excited and I’m happy that some of you are inspired to start learning or just start knitting again!</p>
<p>Maybe we will have to start a projects thread - I’m looking forward to scouring Pinterest for simple projects - after I get signed up for a class!!!</p>
<p>The woman who cleans my house has given me several knitted cotton dishclothes. They are quite nice.</p>
