I haven't done anything else since she's still growing so fast so I don't want to spend hours on something she only gets to wear once or twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-or-knit-for-your-lo#post-582157 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:51:02 +0000 MediaNaranja 582157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sew and would love to make some special occasion outfits for a LO one day (my mom did the same for me). I would also love to help a LO make special doll clothes (again, my mom did the same for me).</p> <p>I also quilt so there will definitely be some baby quilts happening here when the time comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-or-knit-for-your-lo#post-582149 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:48:41 +0000 cascademom 582149@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a knitter. I've done hats and blankets for him. I haven't knit much since he was born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-or-knit-for-your-lo#post-582145 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:47:07 +0000 lemondrop 582145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've done hats with loom knitting, but never had the patience to learn the real thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-or-knit-for-your-lo#post-582080 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:27:51 +0000 Beebug 582080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have crocheted! I taught myself how to the month before having LO, was going to sew her crib bedding, but paid someone else to do it.....lame! I am going to teach myself to knit someday.</p> <p>I have done just hats for LO and done cowls for me! Pretty simple, I learned the stitches and sort of just make it up as I go, I really need to learn to follow (*ahem* read) patterns. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-or-knit-for-your-lo#post-581955 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 10:01:02 +0000 knittylady 581955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I plan on it! I'm a knitter and want to learn to sew! I've just started a knit teddy bear and haven't yet finished the head. Hopefully I get a lot done this weekend. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sew-or-knit-for-your-lo#post-581946 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 09:58:49 +0000 littlebittyhouse 581946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have knit him a hat, sweater and a blanket. I have not sewn anything other than blankets since before he was born but I am thinking of making his Easter outfit.</p> <p>What about you...do you sew or knit for your LO? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-307669 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 10:05:12 +0000 Alivoo01 307669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't knit, but I used to crochet. Loved making blankets, but I can't remember how to anymore. I'm sure if I looked it up, I could maybe get back into the swing of things.</p> <p>As a little girl, I LOVED LOVED LOVED cross-stitching though. I would get so excited when my mom let me pick my next design. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-307191 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 23:36:47 +0000 tequiero21 307191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: LOVE the hat and booties! will have to check out that video, thanks! also, thanks for the tip! will have to attempt it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-307125 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 21:32:38 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 307125@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: wow! great job.

Just look up some youtube videos to refresh your memory!</p> <p>I made this blanket for LO. It was pretty easy to do, just time consuming.</p> <p>I also made this rattle and turtle with leftovers.</p> <p><a href="http://season-with-love.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-guess-this-is-what-they-call-nesting.html" rel="nofollow">http://season-with-love.blogspot.com/2012/05/i-guess-this-is-what-they-call-nesting.html</a> </p> [attach=2021/12/matd5r.401x600.DSC03557.jpg] [attach=2021/12/matd5t.600x433.DSC03563.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-306780 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 10:36:23 +0000 pastemoo 306780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I highly recommend this video to spark your memory: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqca00LdmAc" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqca00LdmAc</a><br /> And then.... I started with this hat:<br /> <a href="http://crochet.about.com/od/hats/a/simple-crochet-baby-beanie-free-pattern.htm" rel="nofollow">http://crochet.about.com/od/hats/a/simple-crochet-baby-beanie-free-pattern.htm</a><br /> And I got some library books with patterns. I always modify everything though. Check out the booties! (still in progress)<br /> [attach=741/12/mat7co.337x600.P1060529.JPG]<br /> Next up: a vest and sleep sacks. Then back to knitting! Knitting is so much easier for me but I have never turned a heel knitting so I decided to try crochet for round/curved things.</p> <p>@lemonlong: That turkey hat is too funny! I love the sweater and turban hat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-306741 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:27:12 +0000 LemonLong 306741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been knitting and crocheting since I was little. I've made everything, sweaters, socks, hats, blankets, felted shoes, etc. </p> <p>I just started a baby sweater and hat to bring the baby home in <a href="http://www.pickles.no/lazy-daisy-baby-jacket/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pickles.no/lazy-daisy-baby-jacket/</a></p> <p>I also want to do this hat since I'm due Nov 9th. </p> <p><a href="http://www.goingcrafty.com/2007/11/jive-turkey-baby-hat-pattern/" rel="nofollow">http://www.goingcrafty.com/2007/11/jive-turkey-baby-hat-pattern/</a></p> <p>I haven't been doing a lot of knitting and crocheting for baby, because I'm a yarn snob so projects tend to be expensive and it doesn't seem worth it for something they grow out of so quickly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-306710 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 08:24:49 +0000 tequiero21 306710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pastemoo: i want to make some baby clothes too! i actually learned to crochet years ago, but i forgot it all. =T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-306689 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 07:47:53 +0000 pastemoo 306689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tequiero21: I love that swirl hat!<br /> I just learned to crochet more than a single crochet and chain--I made a hat and booties. I am going to try a vest next (all baby sized).<br /> I have been knitting my whole life and can make a lot but I am very lazy and don't even have any knitting needles at my current apartment!<br /> @MH.Abroad: I have got to look this up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-20969 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 10:16:10 +0000 Navy_Mommy 20969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhhhh, I've been working on a baby hat that I would have been done with already but I tore it out 3 times for stupid little mistakes. Normally I would have ignored it, but I'm using nice yarn that I got from an actual yarn shop ($$$) rather than stuff from Michael's or Walmart - its a wool/silk blend. And its SUPER fine so I'm using size 1 circulars for it which is kinda a pain in the butt! Lol I'll be happy when its done! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-20857 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 02:19:54 +0000 looch 20857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: Cute! I finally logged into the lion brand site, and I think I am going to give the elephant a try. I thought it might be more complicated in that it's a real tube knit on DPNs, but I can handle a simple 6 to 12 stitch piece. I might even do it on DPNs and make an I-cord, that is even simpler and it rolls onto itself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-20833 Wed, 23 Nov 2011 01:01:28 +0000 tequiero21 20833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Navy_Mommy: really really cute... except for the nose.... looks like something else. =T </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-18083 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:47:01 +0000 carrieknitscake 18083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MH.Abroad: That sounds like Tunisian crochet! I've seen it in action. It's a neat technique that makes some really cool stuff! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-18077 Fri, 18 Nov 2011 18:32:07 +0000 Navy_Mommy 18077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I finished my balloon animal elephant!!!!

Yes, a combination of knitting and crocheting. It's fun. You use a giant needle that looks like a very big crochet needle with a hook on both ends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-17381 Thu, 17 Nov 2011 14:47:59 +0000 Navy_Mommy 17381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm done with the actual knitting part of the elephant, now I have to stuff and assemble it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-knit-or-crochet/page/2#post-16885 Wed, 16 Nov 2011 17:07:24 +0000 Navy_Mommy 16885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Turns out Lion Brand has MULTIPLE "balloon animal" patterns...and I love them all!
