What was the first thing you ever knitted?

I think my first project was a scarf, I still do them by the bucket load! LOL! but I have gone on to other things

Trying to think - I made some knitted teddy bears but their feet and hands are incomplete as I never got the hang of crocheting.

I also made doll blankets.

The best thing I made though was a woollen jumper for DH when we were still going out together...I gave it to him for his birthday.

My Nan said 'that means you are going to marry him now' (presumably an Irish old wives tale - but understandable really - if you are going to take that long making something it would be hoped that you have a long term relationship...)

Ah, I'm missing my knitting needles - they're still in a box somewhere after the move...

I knitted a matinee jacket but DH said it was too girly so it never got worn and it got given to the Salvos. It was a bit dodgy too

First thing, technically, that I ever knitted, was a boob tube dress for Barbie on, you guessed it, the Barbie knitting machine!
I remember my Mum trying to teach me to knit or crochet with these little plastic needles with fruit on the ends... it ended in tears, I would have been about 7...
Taught myself how to knit just boring old straight stich (or whatever the actual name for dull knitting is...) when I was about 19 & made the weirdest looking beanie you ever did see... would never fit anyone that might care to wear it...

When I was about 6 or 7 I knitted a babies jumper for lady who was to become a nan for the 1st time I remember her as Mrs Mac. I can knit just about anything. Find it a bit boring though. Probably been doing it to long.

Hi Guys, I have just started to knit after learning when i was 8 and my great aunty gave be this pattern for trauma teddies for the red cross. It's pretty easy and you can do different colours if you want or all one colour. The teddies are given to children and adults who go through a trauma event as something for them to hug and give them some comfort. It's a great idea and i have the pattern if anyone wants it
