Ooh, I'm knitting my first sweater - started last night. It's a top-down raglan sweater that I'm knitting in an undyed wool yarn. Very pretty white and gray yarn.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Mom says she's going to teach me to knit but so far it hasn't happened.

sumi my first (and only) sweater was a Cascade blue top-down raglan sweater. It was a gift for my mom and it pilled up a storm. I don't think she can wear it anymore, I suspect it's given up the ghost. She wore it every time I saw her for six months. I think she was hinting for another.

I've tried to knit, but I always forget if I'm knitting or purling when I put it down for a while. Crochet is much simpler.

I know someone who learned to knit watching clips on youtube. I am happy to teach people to knit, but you'd have to come here.

I've learned new techniques from youtube but I learned to knit from an aunt and classes.
I took a class to do Fair Isle knitting, learned, and promptly never used it again. I would have to teach myself that technique again. I found it really stressful navigating two colors at once.

I declared in Bitches a while ago: I'm planning to come again to the U.S. next year, from mid-October to the beginning of November. I'm hoping to get a job real soon so I'll be able to afford it.
And I'd love to meet lurkers as well.

Do you know which cruise line you might go to work with? I do a fair amount of work aboard ships and there is a small chance we could cross paths. Currently it looks like I'll be out for around 6-8 weeks scattered between February and July and I'll be on 4 different ships.
Princess! I haven't been offered a job yet, and I don't want to jinx anything, but I feel good about it.
Thanks for the welcome back, everyone!!
