Hi! I'm a knitter that also crochets. I mastered knitted socks about 2 years ago and didn't stop knitting them until about 6 months ago. I then tried Entrelac (picture of my 1st blanket is attached) and though that was fun, I seem to have hit a stopping point for knitting recently. Lately I have been enjoying photographing my area of the world and posting the pics. on Instagram.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.That's lovely, "mistakes" and all. I am also both a knitter and a crocheter and do things in spurts/cycles. It seems I've been crocheting wedding or baby blankets for a couple of years now. I would like to get back to knitting something like socks.

Thank you all for your nice posts. I must admit that I am proud of that blanket even if it does have some mistakes in it. My problem now is that I started another one in diff. colors, but after 3 years of steady knitting I just can't bring myself to work on it. I tried other projects, same thing. Instead of getting right into it as usual, everything feels wrong and awkward. Maybe I am just burned out on knitting. I have started taking pictures of my neighborhood and posting them on Instagram which is fun. Have you ever hit a point where you just can't get into the craft you love? If so, how did you get over it?

That is very impressive. I have looked at entrelac but never tried it. You are inspiring mne to try except that we have just hit the hot part of the year when I turn to tapestry work and lightweight lace-knitting. I've got a stash of yarn I bought for something else that would be perfect for something like that. Thank you.

Thanks. It wasn't easy to get the hang of it, and it did take a while to get in the swing of it. I watched some videos on YouTube, but they were mostly confusing. I ended up with a book that had good illistrations. But the most helpful advice I got was from a video. The woman said to follow the instructions exactly even if they sound wrong as everything will workout in the end & it does.
LOVE the pattern!!! You'll have to post some of the pics you've taken.
