Knitting baby blanket?
I want to make a blanket for my baby. I can’t knit to save my life, I have tried desperately for years to learn, and I have never been able to. I used to try and crochet for a couple of years, but everything always came out looking horrible, I either made the stitches too loose or too tight and could never keep them even. I saw these looms and easy knitter kits at Walmart and was wondering if anyone has ever used these or something similar to make a baby blanket? And if you have, what was the best thing you used?
You might be interested in a not well know craft called knooking. Its knitting with a crochet hook. There is a group on Ravelry and Yahoo. Its actually knit stitches you can convert almost all stitches in knitting to knooking. Knit,purl,yo,inc,dec and can do cables too!!! You could google “knooking” and get some results also. All you need is a modified crochet hook. I have made 1/2 dozen hooks pretty easy to make one. If you have crocheted all you need to know are slip stitches, and your on your way.
