    Oh, I used to love knitting when I was younger! :)
    I think I'm going to start it up again, it really relaxes me :D

    i'd have rather learned knitting from an actual person, i might have continued doing it. the book is harder to learn from and downright confusing for complex stitches. funny thing though, i learned crochet from a book and i am pretty damn good at it XD. the only thing i would knit is a scarf now.

    and if you do mess up you have to start all over again. i don't care for those quick fixes because you have to take time to learn those too. that annoys me to no end. not very relaxing.

    of course i'm biased because i crochet XD.

    but neither knitting or crochet is for "old" people.
    nice article

    My mom knits, and she's taught me several times- but I keep forgetting.
    And I don't have the patience at all.
    I think knitting is fine for everyone.

    I watched my girlfriend knit for about two months before picking up a pair of needles and actually making something that didn't look like a total disaster. It's so much easier to learn it from someone else than to learn it online or from a book.

    Are you on Ravelry? It's awesome. There's about a billion wristwarmers and coats I want.

    I've learned how to knit like three times... I really enjoy it, but where I live the wool and such is expensive... (Damn thee, small town)

    Knitting's fun, but I personally prefer crocheting.

    Great article, I love the original topic ^.^
    Getting the right tension is how I suffer in nearly all material crafts, but I have crocheted before nonetheless. Its difficultly depends on (for me) getting the tension, AND the material that you're crocheting with: from wool that's beginner, to so very fine shreds of silk.
    But yeah, I''d glad that knitting has passed on to this generation, and has even developed :D

    Thanks for the comments, everyone <(^^,)>
    It's great that there are so many cool people who knit =]
    And to those of you who crochet: awesome! Is it hard? I've never tried it!

    I would love to knit but I'm super fail.

    I've tried a few times.

    I wish we had a class at school, we have sowing but i already know how to do that.

    I promise, I will learn someday!

    I'm basically incapable of knitting. I've tried it before and failed miserably at it.

    I think knittings cool though, I have a few friends who knit. It's definitely not an old lady hobby.

    I've never tried knitting, but it was popular in elementary school with a bunch of girls in my class. Me, being a tomboy, never thought of even trying it.

    Your article was good, but this... kind of... shocked me, I suppose. "It’s something I’d rather do than go out, get drunk and end up licking my own vomit off of the pavement!" That statement makes me think that you're saying that people who don't knit have nothing better to do than go out and get drunk.

    Knitting makes me happy.
    It's an amazing stress reliever, I think.
