g'night Moonshadow! i'm off to bed too!

[Serra Britt]

I heard people talk about knitting? Unfortunately I don't knit, as I don't have time for that, but my mom does so I know a little bit about it. One can make some really great stuff knitting!

I just... buy boot cuffs

Serra: Yeah, I can't currently needle knit but I do loom knit.
I want to work on learning to needle knit soon though because there are WAY more patterns for that than there are for the looms. For example: on Ravelry there are 3,015 loom knitting patters.
And there are 443,179 patterns for needle knitting.

Glitch: But why buy them when you can have your online friends make them for you?
;D

[trystan830]

443,180 for needle knitting, Kaderin... one just got added! XD

(oops, another one just got added when i was looking to see how many knitting patterns i actually have in my library. i have 87.)

on the other hand, there's 237,099 patterns for crochet.

[Serra Britt]

Might have to look into this site when my mom is wondering what to knit or crochet then... That's a lot of patterns.

[trystan830]

yep, that's a lot of patterns. the url is www.ravelry.com =)

[Kaderin Triste]

Well, Trystan, my point really just was that loom knitting, while amazingly easier than needle knitting (in my opinion) is very limited. Even crocheters have well over 230,000 more patterns on Ravelry than I have to choose from.

[trystan830]

yeah, sorry, i was just trying to be silly. :S

[Kaderin Triste]

Haha...that's okay.
(I'm too tired. The silly went over my head.)

One of my biggest pet peeves lately is when one of my friends on Facebook will share a picture or pattern and ask if I can make it and it's a needle knit or crochet pattern. Because no. I can't make them and I can't convert them.
(Well, actually needle knit patterns can be converted, but it takes a lot of time and way more trial and error than I have tbe patience for.)

[trystan830]

i don't post my creations on facebook because then everyone will want one. i want to crochet for who i want, when i want.

[Kaderin Triste]

Oh no. What I mean is everyone else posts all these crochet and needle knit items to my wall and ask if I can make it. Not me posting stuff.
I do post my projects on Facebook, but no one actually wants the things I make.

brady proposed to me for my birthdaayyyyy

[SparX]

This makes me so happy!
I am so excited!
Literally buzzing around with joy =D

[trystan830]

oh yaaay Glitch!!

Kaderin - i may have gotten only like 1 or 2 'requests' like that. i say no every time. =)

[Kaderin Triste]

Congrats Glitch!

Trystan: Yeah....I logically explain to the person/people EVERY time that it's not a loom pattern and I can't convert it. But they still persisted in asking for months. Haven't had any for about a year now though, so I guess they finally figured it out.
