How long have you been knitting?

I've been knitting about two years now and I really love it. I have crocheted since I was 9 and every time I asked someone to teach me to knit they said it was really hard so I never tried. Once I decided to learn I taught myself using online resources and I was shocked by how easy it is. I love the versatility of knitting. I love how I can make so many different types of fabric and textures with just two simple stitches. I spend every free moment I have knitting. I'm saddened that it took me so long to work up the courage to try it but I'm so glad that I finally did.

I was taught the very basics when I was about 3 or 4 by my mother, who also taught me to sew, crochet and darn at the same time. SO thats over 30 years ago now, hardly seems like 5 minutes!

I started knitting about 10 years ago. I started out knitting scarfs. I still mainly knit scarfs. I advanced to hats recently but get too bored with the yarn and stitch to knit a sweater, blanket or pancho. I did do a blanket by knitting about 20 seperate squares and them sewing them all together at the end.

I have only been knitting for a couple of days but I love it

I learned when I was about 10 how to crochet. I learned to knit when I was 19, so I have been knitting for about 5 or 6 years now, and I love it! I knit things for everyone, and knit many many things for myself. It's hard to stop once you start, LOL!

i have been knitting for about three years now i first learned to knit when i was a senior in high school and i joined this knitting club the school offered for after school before that i did not really have any kind of interest in knitting but after i learned i fell in love with it my sister started knitting first and she helped to teach me its too bad that i do not have alot of time to dedicate to knitting though

I have been knitting for over 20 years now. My aunt taught me when I was around 12. She figured it would give me something to do as I refused to go into the barn. lol I've been hooked on it ever since. Now I am teaching my eight year old daughter how to knit and it's a blast!

I learned when I was 5, so about 20 years ago.

i have been knitting from the past11 years.. i learned it from my aunt.. i started it during my fifth class.. i really love knitting a lot.. its my fv hobby.. i try to collect the knitting design books..

I just started knitting 2 weeks ago. I'm really enjoying it. I also like to sew, quilt, and scrapbook. So many hobbies so little time! :-)

I learned to knit as a young girl. I have been knitting on and off ever since. I love to knit but my wrists wont let me do it as much as I would like to.

I learned when I was about eight years old, I have not knit since my boys were small, that is since they were about a year old, and the reasons being that I started to gain weight, and found that many of the free patterns ended at about 36 inches bustlines, and to get a larger pattern I would have to pay more. The other being, I was brought up with giving birth to a baby, knitting the new born set for him or her, I missed out on my sons since they were adopted by us at three months old and it was fairly quick, so no time. Then I got too busy. I might start it up again.

i really love to learn how to knit. i wish i can learn how.

I bought a learn to knit/learn to crochet book when I was pregnant with my daughter. I've been doing both now for about 4 years. I think my favorite thing to knit is socks.

My mom taught me the basic k1,p1 and a simple bind-off when i was around 8 or 9. When i was about 23 i decided to venture out and try more complicated patterns. I depended on numerous how-to websites and books to get me through the rough patches. I also taught myself to crochet using online instructions.
