I got knitting needles, and a beginners knitting kit for kids. Thought I'd start with the kids version first, since it had online tutorials--although now I'm just all out confused because technically I'm knitting, only it's by using a crochet needle. Go figure. It was easy enough, I just got right on in there and started knitting! It's awesome! Okay it was awesome until I realized my scarf was getting skinnier as I went along, and had to undo a bunch of it. But now it's aWesome! That's what I'm doing now.
here's a pic I took my first night
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
Quote:Some people deserve hell.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

How long is your scarf now? And what is this knitting with a crochet hook?
Found! So you are Knooking?

That is not easy but you have the basics of crochet!
Much Kudos!

I don't know why it's gold in this one.
YEP! I'm totally Knooking!!! That's it!
... Is that not knitting?
I'm so confused!

Hmmm. The purist in me says "No, it is not knitting" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knitting
The 'hooker in me says "No, it is crocheting and not knitting"
What I see? You are making a knitted fabric utilising crochet techniques ....very clever who ever thought this up. As knitting needles can present a real danger to young ones learning how to knit. Although that Knooking hook looks positively wicked! :S
The technique used here "Knooking" is very similar to the technique used to create Afghan/Tunisian crochet fabric.
Welcome to the wonderful world of the needle crafter!

Ha! Well, I have some knitting needles too, I'll have to give it a go with those when I'm done with my scarf
I'm down with being bi-knitty.

Thinking about it, the same principle with Knooking is applied to knitting. You leave your stitches on the needle while you finish the row.... insert needle wrap yarn around drag loop through loop you inserted needle into.
With crochet you only have one stitch to deal with at any one time

Luckie, that glittery and pink crochet hook..
And knooking, that's my next project, looks fun!
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
