Hi everyone! I swear I posted my intro here before but I don't see myself anywhere, so pardon me if I'm a repeat.
My name is Gaby and I'm a crocheter (hooker!) who resides in Louisiana when at school, and Florida on break. I've been crocheting not even a year yet and I love it. I have no intention of stopping.
I love amigurumi and anything useful- when I'm not making something cute, I'm making something practical like a crochet hook caddy or a cozy for my kindle.
My ravelry name is 3jane!

I'm a crocheter (hooker!)

This made me laugh!

Hey, everyone! I'm Amber, a 25-year-old knitter from WV. Between my work, my partner, and our six furbabies (!), I sometimes struggle to find time to knit. However, I'm participating in the Ravellenic Games this year, and mass cast-on is tomorrow. I'm excited to be here and to meet all of you!

Hey Ya'll !!!

I am Brenda from Jefferson, SC and I have been crocheting for 38 years and just taught myself to knit about 2.5 years ago by watching an Elizabeth Zimmerman Workshop video. Now that I have learned to knit, I am in love!!!

Right now I am making booties, hats, and blankets to donate to a group that delivers to the NICU in hospitals in different states for the preemies.

I was so happy to have found MFP!! Now to add friends for motivation. Thanks for having me in this group and look forward to chatting and adding friends to my site!!

Huggies,
Brenda

Hi everyone....I just joined last night and it is great to find a group that shares my favorite hobbies crocheting and knitting. I have been crocheting for a while, I just learned to knit 3 years ago and I can say I do not knit as fast as I crochet. I live in Florida with my hubby and our "children"(1 dog, 4 cats, 7 birds, and 1 rabbit). I need to lose 80+ pounds and get healthy. Right now I am crocheting a purse and knitting some placemats....I always seem to have more than one project I am working on!

I've been crocheting for about 10 years, knitting on an off for about 5...mostly off. I'm in the middle of crocheting a shrug and knitting a sweater, as well as working on Christmas gifts! I'm chickwithhooks over at Ravelry.

Hello all, I am a 60 year old grandmother, who was taught to knit by her mother when I was 8. Been knitting, crocheting, embroidering, doing counted cross stitch, and needlepoint. Right now I knit whenever I can. I usually have a small portable knitting project, like socks, in my purse.

Hello,
I am a 25 year old writer who has been knitting serious since 2010. I started learning how to spin in March 2012 and have one wheel (as of now.) I am currently starting the couch to 5k program and hoping to get back in shape.

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Hello! I'm a 29 year old knitter from Ohio. I picked up Stitch n ***** and a set of knitting needles and yarn in 2004 and haven't looked back! Even though I've been knitting for 8 years now I consider myself a beginner/novice. I've recently started trying to improve my knitting skills and even managed to learn to cable. Knittingwise my dream is to make myself a sweaterdress (and an awesome bag to go with it).

Hi everyone,i'm jessica. I'm 29 and have a little girl named abby. She loves yarn as much as me, i can't wait to teach her to knit and crochet. She always comes up to me and asks for a yarn ball when i am crafting. She cracks me up. I want to lose weight for me. I gained a good 10 lbs after being married and another 10 crafting and eating. I've started to be more active and less crafty but that is okay. I don't need to finish a project in a day. I am goldmoonjd on ravelry as well so you can add me here and there!

Hi I'm Becky (mekare9601 on Rav). I'm fairly new to my fitness pal. I'm 30 years old with 2 young boys and a husband. We have a small and zoo's worth of pets including dogs, cats, turtles, and hermit crabs. We live out in the middle of no where which is where we much prefer to be. A few years in the city and surrounding suburbs and we ran back to the peace and quite as soon as we could. I started knitting about 3 years ago (I think) when I was laid off from a job. I knew I needed something to keep me busy or I'd go crazy. It worked with the side effect of driving my husband crazy with my new found yarn addiction. I picked up crochet when I found a pattern I wanted to make my sister and couldn't figure out how to knit it and make it look the same. My grandmother tried teaching me when I was little and I never took it to heart. Now she's gone I wish she had been the one to teach me but at least I can still feel close to her when I pick up the hooks. I tend to make little things that don't require lots of skill because I really like to use knit and crochet as a way to unwind at the end of a day but I have tried picking more ambitious projects for the new year with the hopes of upping my skill set. I also want to make at least one or two things a month for the oncology unit at our local hospital. I just need to get on that for this month!

Hi Sarah here. I am going to knit vicariously through the rest of you for a bit. I over did during the holidays and now have tendonitis in my left elbow and forearm. I have been knitting off an on since I was about 7. I really got back into about 5 years ago. I am in love with Jane Austen Knits (magazine) from Interweave. I recently (3 months ago) started teaching myself lace knitting. My biggest accomplishment prior to injury was a pair of fingerless glove in 6 hours (might have been a contributing factor to the aforementioned tendonitis) Once I am able to knit again I plan to learn how to knit right handed, so I can switch off hands.

I definitely crochet on the recumbent bike... or did, when I used it more :laugh: !! Time to start doing that again...
