Hey everyone! Just found this group and excited - I love it!

My name is Britt. I'm 27, married with no human children but 4 fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) at home. I am an avid crocheter and I blog crochet/have a budding crochet page/community on Facebook.

As for current projects I am just finishing up a crochet throw right now that will be a wedding gift for a friend of mine this weekend (just putting the border on so its going to be done in time, but cutting it close lol).

Hello! I have been crocheting for about a year now. Self-taught (thanks YouTube!). It's taking me a bit longer to learn than it should because I don't like to be told what to do so I keep going my own way. It's problematic. Anyway. I'm married, two kids, two guinea pigs, one hedgehog.

Currently I'm designing a crochet cozy for my 3DSXL that looks like a Mario mushroom. Woot woot. But I can't work on it at the moment because my back is out and it hurts to look down at my work. Boo.

what videos did you use to learn? I'm trying the Naztazia videos but any advice would help.

Hello everyone, so pleased to find so many like minded people. I'm from Cornwall, UK & mainly knit toys, i have two daughters 13yrs & 3mnths (just a small gap, lol) i'm currently breast feeding my second child so am eating extra calories to sustain my milk production, i also have PCOS which i can't manage with meds at the moment (or even diet properly to help my symptoms) whilst feeding my baby girl. I'm on ravelry & have started designing my own patterns, i have loads running around my head or part designed (some even designed) just need to find time to type them up, i do have some free patterns listed on ravelry & am currently designing PCOS awareness patterns for our group Cyster Crafters With PCOS. (on ravelry & facebook) I've kind of gone mad on squares at the moment though sadly my brain works faster than my fingers so have lots of designs that need knitting up. I can only crochet basic granny squares & do intend taking the time to learn more one day as i love the way it grows so fast. I have so, so many works in progress on the go, i'm trying to get them all finished up so i'm only allowing myself to work on squares or PCOS patterns if i'm not working on one of my WIP. (i won't hold my breath though as i'm such a fickle knitter, lol)

Xx

Hey crafters! I'm Laura. I knit and crochet, I also sew clothes. I really want to sew myself a whole custom wardrobe, but wanting so badly to lose the extra weight holds me back. I love vintage and indie patterns. I have a fairly large vintage fabric collection that I badly need to start using up! I am absolutely self-banned from stashing yarn, though, because I know it would become a problem if I let myself. I live in the southern hemisphere where we are moving into winter, so I'm about to start knitting my first garments! I hope to complete a jumper and a cardigan before the winter is done!

Hi! My name is Cat, live in Gainesville FL, and joined the local gym in May. I'm currently doing personal training that will end in Oct. My hobby is crochet although I haven't done much lately because it's been summer. Hello to all! Add me to your friends!

I'm April, 55 yrs old and learned to knit as a pre-teen.

Hello, I'm Jan, 66 yrs old and my grandma taught me to knit, crochet, sew and embroider about 60 yrs ago. There have been a lot of projects in all that time, but about 15 yrs ago I just to too busy and set aside my needles. I've been back with it for the past few years and want to finish two UFOs that are in my yarn bag. I also plan on starting some new projects, since if my hands are busy with yarn and needles, they aren't putting food into my mouth! Sounds like a good plan, to me.

I've been crocheting since I was a teen, after several frustrating attempts with knitting. Took it up again 6 years ago when I was pregnant. 3 years ago I discovered knooking, and 2 years ago I started knitting "properly". I knit continental; western, combined, and eastern! I also love to dye and have a dye garden.

Simple socks are a great project to do while walking, or granny squares. Something small that you don't have to keep your eyes on constantly. These days I mostly use knitting/crochet as something to keep me busy after I've eaten my allotment at dinner and it's rude to leave the table. I used to walk to my knitting group but they moved further away.

I've recently finished several socks and some clothes for my daughter's dolls. My next projects will be some cashmere cowls for the winter.

My group is small but 'tight-knit'. You could try looking for groups at meetup.com, yarn shops, community centers, universities, even hospitals.

hi, I'm Irene, I am 46 and married, I been crocheting off and on for many years now, but really been getting with it this last year or so, but I have lots of weight to lose

hi i'm marjolein from the Netherlands and knitting for about 8 years now. It's my stress and pain relief.

AHH!! I love that I stumbled on this group. Hi I'm Melinda, I've been knitting since I was a kid, about age 9 I'm 29 now (my wonderful mom taught me). I've also been on MFP for a few years now. My biggest accomplishment/project was a dog sweater for my furbaby.

Hi there.
I'm Mélisande, Milly for short, from France but living in Ireland. I'm 32 and a mum of 2 boys.
I started with bobin lace when I was 8 then started knitting but hated it at 10, all sorts of embroidery then at 17 I discovered Irish lace crochet and have been doing ever since.

I started my weight loss at 166, down to 131 now and I have about 6more to lose to be at my goal.
