Knitting Meme

Wendy had this on her blog and I thought I'd contribute to spread the knitting fun around the blogsphere, but this is where that Knitting Meme got started; from a Blogging Knitter in Denmark!  WOOH!!!  Small world, huh?

Mark with bold the things you have done, with italics the ones you plan to do sometime, and leave the rest plain.

In conclusion:

According to the majority of bold, I guess I can conclude that I have done lots of various things in my knitting "career".

But, as a proof (if needed) that we never know everything about anything, I was surprised to hear for the first time of few things - I have marked them ???  in my Meme list, and made some research on the internet seeking for information. Links I have found are beside the name of the techniques I didn't know. I hope this will provide some answers to fellow knitters who like me want to know what is what...

I have also found information about few techniques I am really interested in trying someday and that were not listed in the Knitting Meme, like Illusion Knitting (also called Shadow Knitting) and Double Knitting (video). Just click on the names.

HAPPY KNITTING!

Hi Tricotine! Thanks for the comment on my blog! It is really nice to see how the meme travels and actually 'meet' new knitters in this way. You've got a lot of bold ones! I am going to do mine again in one year and see whether anything has changed. Cheers, Rineke

What a fun little exercise to help us realize just how much we've done with our knitting! I often feel like I barely ever accomplish anything with my knitting, but I'm pleased to see that a good many of the items on the list would be bold for me. Thanks for sharing!
