limitado ang mapagbilhan ng kniting materials but like what was suggested in the other posts. in crafts and sewing shops.

sisses in the mean time you can improv. I used chopsticks to knit scarves.

hi mga sissies. i'm planning to create a group sa facebook called GT Knitters. we can post video tutorials there for those who wants to learn to knit. and we can also exchange patterns. what do u guys think?

cool ako naman i learned knitting via youtube and bought my tools in divisoria yung store along tabora st. ang hirap and wala akong mabilan ng wool yarn sobrang gusto ko pa naman gumawa ng bolero.

emaru · « **Reply #28 on:** January 21, 2010, 02:20:00 pm »

thats a great idea sis luisacart

For a beginner ano ba mas magandang matutunan Crocheting o knitting? o same lang po ba yun? pasensya na

(confused). Would really like to learn something new this year

sorry thread resurrection. just super happy to find other knitters in GT. ^^ For me kasi it's so relaxing. Parang therapy.

I also learned from youtube videos this last year lang, and my first knitting needles were wooden chopsticks I sharpened. haha. buti nalang nakahanap ako sa Daiso ng bamboo needles. Pati circulars nga meron, but not a lot of choices sa size. so anyway, tiyaga-tiyaga lang. I've even once used barbecue sticks, kasi wala akong size 3-4 needles.

Right now I'm trying to knit a pair of baby booties for my sister's inaanak.

Sana other people post din yung current projects nila. Tipong "What's on your needles today?"

Para nakakainspire sa ibang knitters.

Pangarap ko talaga makaknit ng socks, pero good luck nalang. -_-

I crochet, but I want to learn knitting too. Knitting stitches seem so much more polished than crochet stitches. Hahaha I hope it's not too hard for my brain to absorb!

Question, mas mabilis ba ang knitting kaysa sa crochet?

pimli · « **Reply #31 on:** April 30, 2010, 12:53:29 pm »

^ para sakin mas mabilis. lalo na kung madaya ako at gumamit ng higanteng needles (nakabili ako ng jumbo as in jumbo chopsticks sa daiso. almost 1/2" ang width

) at makapal/bulky na yarn (ginawa ko dati tatlo or apat na strand itwist together).

makakagawa ka na nito ng mga 'one hour scarf'. hehe.

feeling ko masinsin kasi ang crochet. maganda for detail work like mga lacework. pero isang kamay lang kasi active, nakakapagod. sa knitting kasi pag nangangawit ako nakakalipat ako between continental and english styles. iwas sa strain sa kamay.

Hi sissies!
Isa ako sa mga taong addict mag-knit! LOL

Natuto lang ako mag-knit through internet tutorials when I was 14. Ngayon 16 na ako and I guess medyo experienced na.

Gusto ko lang po magshare ng mga alam ko... um sa Heavenly Stitchin' Moment po pwedeng bumili ng knitting materials & yarn, and mas mura po siya kaysa sa Craft World. Metal pa ang benta sa Stitchin' Moments, which is, for me, better than plastic. Metal is a bit heavier but very sturdy compared to plastic which easily bends and breaks. Pero overall, they say that the best needles are those made from bamboo; very sturdy and very light, and they say that the more you use it, the more its quality improves!
Ang pinakabasic po gamitin yung two straight needles. Mayroon ding circular needles na nagagamit for making seamless hats, sleeves, gloves, etc.
Tapos meron din pong double-pointed needles a.k.a. DPNs para sa socks, stuff toys and other tube-like things you wanna make. They come in 4 or five needles per set.
sa www.knittingpatterncentral.com ako tumitingin ng mga patterns.
Knitting is different from crocheting; natuto muna akong mag-knit bago mag-crochet. In crocheting you use 1 hook instead of 2 needles as is the case w/ knitting (if you're not using DPN's) Sa crocheting din kasi pwede kang gumawa ng Amigurumi or cute little stuff toys.

For me, mas versatile mag-crochet pero generally mas enjoy ko ang knitting.

Also, I recently started my own handmade accessories biz; just wanna share

>>>http://www.crochetandco.multiply.com
And for those who wanna learn to knit, I really encourage you sissies! Sa umpisa lang siya mahirap; pag tumagal medyo mabibilisan na lang kayo, kasi ang mga various stitches naman niya, if you break it down, are just made from two kinds of main patterns; purl & knit.

i've been wanting to make afghans, kaso i never got beyond knit and purl. never learned the fancy stuff, hehe. i tried the wood and the metal ones, and i stuck with the metal ones. plus, the lady who owned the shop said that the metal ones work best for beginners daw.

Dreams Yarn Shoppe is now in Glorietta 5. They still teach knitting and crochet.

forest · « **Reply #37 on:** September 09, 2010, 05:21:40 pm »

hi..its my first time to knit, i want to ask lang sana on what needle and yarn to be use for practice lang muna para masanay muna sa mga basic knittting...

saka, i have been browsing for video na complete teaching talaga ng basic knitting pero laging may simulang stitches na, gusto ko kasing makita yung after ng casting, ano na ang susunod...TIA po.

platinum · « **Reply #38 on:** December 05, 2010, 11:38:35 pm »

bumping this thread, would like to learn how to knit - i read knitting projects can be done quicker vs crochet...and i like the flexibility of the stitches.

anyways i wonder if heavenly stitchin' moment and Dreams Yarn Shoppe are still open. would like to get me some beginners' tools.

leciel · « **Reply #39 on:** March 27, 2011, 11:03:26 pm »

hi sa mga sis na marunong mag knit. I'm interested in learning this art, i want to knit a bonnet sana for my bf.. Saan po ba nakakabili ng tools like nung needle. I've been to heavenly stichin' moment kaso lang wala sila yung wooden na needle.

Sa divisoria po ba saan banda dun nakakabili ng mga gamit?

thanks!
