Hi all,

I love to knit but over the many many years I have been doing it found out that I just can't knit or finish anything with elaborate patterns. I can read and knit them but the finished products are never really good enough to actually wear.

So because of that I am after some suggestions for easy and usable knitting ideas. I like the meditative nature of knitting but get frustrated if it kind if leads nowhere. I hope m explaining myself alright...

I would like to knit something straightforward like a scarf or crochet granny squares but one person only needs so many scarfs... Any other ideas? I also wouldn't mind donating for charity. It is mostly about the process for me..

Sorry if that sounds to complicated but I don't know how to explain it better...

Thanks

I was much the same as you OP, I found it hard to finish anything.

I have discovered though that if I am knitting for someone else, I am really focused and finish much more quickly. So I asked my best friend what she wanted and now I am knitting a cotton bolero for her. I started on New Year's Day and I have finished the back, both fronts and one sleeve.

I must try the blocking too, I have never done it before and I really want the bolero to look fabulous after all this hard work.
