@Former-Member Hi SunShower how are you going today? I hope you are well and enjoying the crisp Autumn weather. Thought I would let you know that my mother loved her finger knitted scarf that I did with that yarn I got from LoveKnitting which was one of the ones recommended by you. Thanks again for getting me all crafty. 😄 xxx

@Bunniekins How wonderful! I have a very smiley face for your right now!

Thank you for sharing that wonderful experience. It's so good when people like what you do and make them. I know from reading elsewhere that visit wasn't totally wonderful, but if you got that little bit of pleasantry from it, that's just lovely.

So so cool, and aren't the pretty packages from LoveKnitting just lovely? and the organza bags the yarn comes in too. You've made my day @Bunniekins, I hope you're having a lovely day too.

Are you going to do any more knitting any time soon? any plans or projects in mind yet? Of course, only if you want to share.

@Former-Member I am still doing stuff wrong with my knitting with needles ... my scarves still look like thneads off my neck. Fine when worn but laid out on the bed they look screwy lol. Any advice on what I could be doing wrong??

@CheerBear That really is lovely. Well done you. I only keep track of my glasses as they are attached to my nose every waking hour. I spend hours looking for things I've put in a safe place!!!!!! Never to be found again...

Hey @Bunniekins do you have any images of them? That would maybe help.

It might be that the knitting is loose, some are meant to be, and that makes them hang like threads.

I'm going to ask some questions that will sound like the Spanish Inquisition, but don't worry, you're not in trouble okay!

What size are your needles?

What yarn are you using? BRand name and any info on the label. (suggestion: keep your labels with your item so you know what you're using should you leave it for any length of time, and, so you know how much it took should you want to make it again)

What stitch or pattern did you use?

How many stitches did you begin with/ did you end with the same number?

How many rows long?

That will tell me some things, and if you can show an image, that would also be a great help.

@Former-Member Love those pics and yes they are very fine. It's amazing how creative people are isn't it. Glad you found a smile on a low day. Take care.

@Former-Member Ahaha yes well the needles are much bigger than what is suggested on the yarn ... does that matter?? but even then I have tried it with needles are are the right size for the yarn and it still looks like a thneed

I end up with more castings on the needle than when I started ?? How did I do that??

@Teej How are you going today my lovely Teej 🙂

haha love the image @Bunniekins I'll wait until you are able to fill in the answers 'bout the needle sizes and yarn. There are no wrong answers, just explanations.
