I'm sorry...........Does it meet again next Saturday? I wish you could teach me to knit. I've wanted to for years and years.My mom used to crochet these huge elaborate "doilies" and mantel scarves. I wish I had saved more of them.....

It might be me, if it's knitting. Most of what I knit is my own design. (And I've worked very hard in therapy to be able to say, "and I am very pleased with the result, and think this top looks quite becoming on me.") One of these days, I'll submit some of my designs to some of the magazines, but haven't done that yet.
We also had another poster here, CoutureMan, who was a clothing designer -- had his own couture business. I find that much more impressive than my knitting.
(Then again, I'm learning to be proud of what I do, despite someone else's work being more impressive...)
So, if you did mean me, thank you for remembering. :-)

And I am super-duper impressed. To me knitting is not quite a mystery, but certainly a cause for amazement. I knitted (past tense, knit or knitted?) a pair of slippers in High School & am still amazed that I did it!! My Mom was a very wonderful knitter. It was back in the day of those HEAVY wool jackets with a zipper up the front & designs on front panels & on back. I got to choose the design (from pictures of patterns) & the colour. I chose the main colour of black, with yellow roses climbing up a green vine! LOL My DH says that his Mom made him one also & his was a cowboy. :-)) My Mom also made those Aran (sp?) sweaters - I think they were Irish originally - they were beige wool with really intricate designs - almost like braids & arrows & wiggly lines - really nice.
Anyway, when I learned to knit it was just 'knit & purl'. Apart from the slippers, a scarf would be my limit. My Mom was a wonderful person & she never pushed me at all to knit, even though it was her forte.
Long story here, righ? ANYway, it amazed me enough to see my Mom following the patterns & being able to create these wonderful creations. HowEVER - the mere thought of someone creating their OWN things with knitting really 'blew me away' when I first read it & still does. Absolutely no disrespect to the designer (that sounds like a huge accomplishment), but personally, I'm way more impressed with you designing your own knitted stuff!!!!!
Do you knit very often? My Mom pretty-well always had something on the go. So did DH's.
I can crochet. I actually made a huge blanket years ago. Unfortunately it's in the "70's" colours, which I got SO sick of....olive green, brown, gold (I didn't put orange in the blanket, but you know those colour combinations?). I also followed a pattern & partly made a dress for my daughter (now 32) when she was little. Hit a snag in understanding pattern though, so never finished it - unravelled it & made a scarf, since wool was really pretty.
Anyhow, I'd love to see your things. Do you have any photos? (I'm one to talk about photos, since I still haven't gotten DH to help me get some pottery ones 'internet-friendly').
What's your favourite thing you've designed (or favouriteS - if you're like me & have trouble choosing just one favourite of anything).
luv, Kath
PS - do you create it as you go along? Or figure it out ahead of time? it mystifies me.
