My husband just emailed through some old adverts that someone sent him and while some are really quite funny, others are just kinda creepy...

I have a real desire to knit at the moment. I have become a lot more interested in knitting this year and I am learning a lot about it - different tensions, different stitches, different sized needles. I have even finally taught myself how to cast on! But now I want to knit something substantial but it's got to be simple. My adventures in moss stitch and to a lesser extent purl have been holey disasters so far. What I'm thinking is a garter stitch cardigan for myself. What do you think? Garter stitch I have down pat and making something for myself will give me (ahem) plenty of motivation.

I will just say - don't give up! It is only practice that makes perfect. :)
(I will be glad to see some of your knitted things in pictures.)
I think a lot of knitting over the weekend should produce something photo-worthy! Thanks Pina :)
Unfortunately, I can't give any advice in knitting - the last time I did it was in school.
Eeew, yes, these vintage ads ARE creepy. *shudder*
I know what you mean, Diana - I didn't knit for years following a bad experience with it at school and then I just kind of got interested.
I'll post some more of these vintage horrors next week!
