Knitting Kirk

[echoelee.livejournal.com]

I've been searching for this story for three days with no luck.

It's a Kirk/Spock story, where Kirk and Spock are playing chess in Kirk's quarters and he notices that Spock's mom sweater has a hole. He fixes the hole and then, later on, he gives Spock a replica of the sweater his mom gave him and a new sweater. McCoy notices the sweater and tells him that Kirk doesn't knit sweaters for just anyone. McCoy had a green sweater Kirk made him.

Not being able to find this story is driving me crazy!

Thanks in advance!!

I love handmade crafts, but I'm terrible at knitting. I finally learned how to crochet, but knitting is tough stuff. I've been admiring it from afar.

If you get comfortable with your level of crocheting, do consider trying knitting again. I felt the same as you before I figured the knitting stuff out. It also helps if you have a local yarn shop--not a place like Jo-Ann's or Michael's or whatever, but a locally owned place. The people there usually are very willing to help a beginner out. YouTube was my best friend before I found my LYS. My problems were I kept dropping stitches (not enough tension to make the stitches tight enough on the needles) and twisting my stitches (a product of learning from a book and YouTube which I only recently corrected--and I've been knitting steadily for about two years now). Either way, check out Ravelry.com if you haven't! Lots of fun people and (free!) patterns for knitting and crocheting!
