[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 185569, member: 1233"] You are right about Rosey Grier - it was needlepoint. I was mistaken. there are some really COOL books of things to knit/crochet/needlecraft for the youngsters of today. I had a great time giggling over them with my mom one day. We were at Barnes and noble. They were near the "Stitch n Gritch" (that is gritch with a b) books. I was searching for the book and saw a book of dog sweaters (Doggy Knits by Alison Jenkins and there is another Doggy knits by Corrine Niessner). This is not the one I originally saw, but it might be interesting: Pretty in Punk: 25 Punk, Rock and Goth Knitting Projects by Alyce Benevides et al. I am sure it is available at amazon, and if you order through the site it helps Cheryl with costs. I did ask Jessie (age 13, now in 8th grade) what would happen at school if a guy let others know he could knit and her comment was "World as he knew it would end." Remember though that we are in Oklahoma, NOT the tolerance capital of the world. When Jessie first wanted to learn to knit we asked a crafter at the church craft fair and she recommended circular needles - they are connected through a piece of flexible plastic. This way things can't fall off? I don't knit, so I don't totally understand. She also tried those round knitting looms. She didn't like them, but then, she didn't really try them. I am fascinated by them though. If the new medication works they are one of the things I want to play with. IF he sticks with it, introduce him to some of the other fibers. And if he has questions there are some pretty good web boards. One that I know of is just for cross stitchers and knitters, so I can pm the site if you want it. Personally, I think it is cool that he knits. And if his friends see a basket of knitting stuff sitting around he can just tell them it is yours. [/QUOTE]
