Dude, knitting is fucking metal.
It's all the rage currently thanks to mainstream books like "Stitch N Bitch," and it's taking over the world of high-priced knit goods.
I've been knitting for under six months, and I've been churning out Finished Objects like nothing.
I'm very proud of it and I hope to keep getting better to someday make all the stuff in the expensive knitting magazines I keep buying.
Maybe someday I'll post some articles on "Things They Don't Tell You," because while there are pages and pages of help on the internet, there are a few things that I just had to "wing" and learn on my own, and that pissed me off, so maybe I pass savings onto you!

It's where I learned to knit, prompting shock from my grandmother and a comment on how magical technology is these days.
Seriously, though, this woman is amazing and she has videos of herself knitting.
- Knitting Livejournal Community
While I love to hang out here and see everyone's pretty knitwear and a majority of the people are very supportive, if you comment on anything controversial, be prepared for idiotic drama the likes of which even the WB would pass on. Also: don't comment on anything that has ever been posted in the last 7 years. All 4,000 members are required to have photographic knowledge of all 45,000 articles and the LJ Knitting Elite will knit you hell to pay!

I'm not good enough to actually knit anything here just yet, but soon.

Simply by talking about Knit Club, I am breaking the first and possibly second rule of Knit Club.
