Hi all - thanks for welcoming me to the group

I have been knitting for 40 years.

As a rule I "follow the directions" for whatever it is I'm working on at the moment but I have a sweater pattern that has set in sleeves and I truly HATE sewing in sleeves (I've done it more times than I care to think about - but still hate it). Can anyone provide assistance in converting a set in sleeve to a raglan sleeve?

Thank you so very much,
Malinda in Rome, NY

Hi Malinda. If you post your question in the "How To" section of the forum, I bet you'll get some answers!

Thanks for the welcome!! I've visited this site's videos many times and have found them so helpful. I was invited to join this chat over at Ravelry. I'll come back tomorrow and properly introduce myself. I have recently had eye surgery and can't stay on the computer too long.
Thanks for a great site and place to hang.
Hugs, Tiggs55

Hi, my name is Kathy and I live in Colorado. I'm pleased to have found your site doing a google search for magic loop knitting patterns. I recently took up knitting after many years, and am now an avid intermediate knitter. The site looks great.

Cheers, Longmont Kathy

Hi everyone!!
I am new to this website- so hope this is the place to
ask a question.
How do you pick up and knit stitches- for instance i am making
a doll and I have a hat on her but want to add a wide brim.
I look forward to hearing from you and learning and sharing.

Hi,

I'm Heidi and am new to knitting, so thought this would be the perfect place to get some help. Look forward to getting to know you all.

Hello there! I can't wait to get started learning on this site. It looks aw some! I am not very good at the computer, so I might make several mistakes at first. I can barely knit and will later be posting a pattern that I made at one time, but lost (got a picture of the scarf). I am from the Gettysburg, PA area and am looking for a group so that I will be motivated to finish some of my dozen, or so, projects. Thanks for such a great site.

I'm a 51 year old knitting newbie! My daughter & I are 4 weeks into a knitting class we are taking at our local yarn shop. What a blast!
Our last class is tonight, and I'm hoping to find out how to do an icord attached bindoff.

I love the videos. I learn lots better by watching ;-)

Thanks!
