Hi! I'm Cat and I crochet. I love making baby things...blankets, booties, hats, etc. I've also made some mittens, specialized scarves and hats. I'm currently working on some nerdy style golf hats for a friend's play. I like to crochet while I watch tv, which isn't very much

I'm Liz - 28 and living in Illinois. I learned to knit & crochet in college and have been happily crafting for the last 8 years. I've made five sweaters, endless hats, quite a few baby blankets, and am really digging on a crocheted bag pattern these days. I also knit to avoid eating at night. I'm glad this group exists!

Hello all

I've recently taken up fibre crafts again. Just purchased myself a beautiful grey merino fleece that I will turn to yarn for making into many garments. I looked up 'spinning' in the exercise database and was delighted to learn I will be burning around 1000 kcals per hour. Amazing, and that's only using one foot.

:devil:


Hate to burst your bubble, but the spinning they are talking about is on a bicycle. It is a VERY fast pedaling of the stationary bike that athletes use to get in shape for long bike races.

I have looked before and there is nothing for crocheting or knitting related exercise on MFP. If there was I would be a skinny minny. LOL

Just joking Joyce.

Hello my name is Robbin. I just stumbled upon your group & invited myself on in here! I'm an avid knitter been doing it for a lil over two years now & I must say I caught on quickly & went straight to the intermediate patterns. I guess if this was an AA group my introduction would be...hello my name is Robbin & I'm addicted to knitting!

Hi, my name is Kristin. I'm 32 years old and have been knitting for over 7 years. My crazy schedule keeps me from eating right and knitting as much as I would like to. I'm trying to slow myself down and get some me time in for exercise and relaxation. Glad to be here. I look forward to participating.

Hi all, I'm Kristin. I'll be 30 next month (gulp) and I have been crocheting for... well... hmm... quite a long time. Not sure how long, to be honest! My grandmother taught me when I was a kid, and then I picked it back up in 2005 or so; been crocheting since. I absolutely love it! I taught myself to knit as well, but I just can't keep a loose enough tension so that I don't drop every.single.stitch. So I crochet. I love it. I've taught myself Tunisian crochet and am currently attempting to make myself a sweater - couldn't find a pattern for what I wanted, so I'm winging it - and writing it down as I go. Who knows how it'll come out. So far, I'm having issues shaping the arms for the back, so I don't quite know what I'm going to do. Probably rip out the sections where I started shaping and figure it out from there.

Anywho, I have an 8½ month old son, and he is VERY active, so I don't have a ton of time now to crochet. But he's quite fun, so that's okay.

Great to meet all of you!

Hi I am new here. I joined a few months back but I have been dragging my feet doing anything with the site.
I have been crocheting since I was a little girl, I have just started learning to knit in the last 18 months. I have done lots of projects but not great at any of it.. I can pick up a hook and make just about anything.. it wasn't until I quit smoking that I decided that I needed to learn to read patterns... Then I wanted to learn to knit and thats what I'm doing now.. I currently have a bag in progress, A pair of 2 at a time magic loop socks... I am working on the cuffs and its going very slow.
I would like to join a very active group with people who have simular intersts as I do.. I really don't know how to navigate this site but I did find all of you so I must be making progress... from the way I feel I am sure I have about 30 pounds to loose.... its bitter sweet... I lost 50 and then my life got turned upside down and now I need to get my weight back down again.. I eat good most of the time but I have little time for exercise. I would like a great 15 minute work out for the first thing in the morning and then maybe a quiet stretching work out at night.. that would most likely be floor exercises or yoga.. neither of which I'm very experianced with...
I live in Oregon... a recent empty nester.. We live on the coast and by we I mean my husband and I .. We have a dog.. little doxie.. and a cat... I do caregiving for a living and we are currently looking to relocate.. if we can find a place soon it would be wonderful but it all depends on work and houseing. So it will happen when it does.. most definately before winter...:happy:
I hope to come in here every day. I will have to bite the bullet and step on the scale :noway: and take my measurements. I also see where there is a blog for us to talk in... that will be good... I can ramble and if no one listens it will be fine...LOL

Hi all,

Just found groups, been doing MFP since Feb of this year. I love to crochet, maybe learn knitting some day. Looking for friends to follow on this fitness goal. It is tough when one of your favorite hobbies includes hours of sitting.
