Garfield Jan 2023 4:54pm, 24 Jan 2023 17,091 posts	0 Garfield I learned both about a year apart - knitting first, then crochet. I knit regularly but need a refresher course from a book every time I want to crochet anything simple! I can crochet seams to join knitting together.

Silvershadow Jan 2023 3:31pm, 27 Jan 2023 1,652 posts	0 Silvershadow Help sewers! I’m sewing sweatshirt material so am using a stretch stitch. I now want to sew the zip in. So… carry on with the stretch stitch or use a straight one?
sallykate Jan 2023 3:36pm, 27 Jan 2023 10,912 posts	0 sallykate I would go with straight. The material on the zip won't be able to stretch anyway.

auburnette Jan 2023 6:41pm, 27 Jan 2023 2,032 posts	0 auburnette I'm a newbie knitter, may I poke my head in here? Been learning since September or so and have completed a few hats, a waistcoaty thing and currently working on a sweater vest. If anyone is on Ravelry also I would love to be your friend on there: ravelry.com The sweater vest is my biggest project in lightest weight yarn to date and I am quite slow so will be working on it for a while yet. After that maybe socks...I have peeked the lovely socks on this thread and have a hankering for some 👀
