[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 700614, member: 1963"] I haven't knit much since my husband died. i was an expert knitter. My grandmother, who was born in Lithuania, taught me to knit when I was a small child. In fact, I don't really remember learning to knit, but because I learned knitting as a "folkway", I knit, to quote a friend from the Army days, "weird", including being able to carry yarn in both hands. Apparently, the whole way i hold the needles, yarn, and manipulate them is "off", so when I used to go to knitting club, or into a knitting class, I'd draw a crowd when I started knitting. For you beginners (and for me, too) I highly recommend the various books by Elizabeth Zimmerman, especially 'Knitting Without Tears" and "Knitting in the Round" (for sweaters and such). I learned quite a bit from them, too. Both are available in oversized paperback from Amazon, and I think in hardcover as well. [/QUOTE]
