    Yes, I am knitting my first thing ever...an afghan and I love it. This keeps my hands busy and I meet so many new friends because we knit in a group.

    I love to knit and crochet! I haven't had much time to lately because of exercising, school work, and working. I usually knit and crochet more in the winter! I love making baby blankets for the girls at work!

    So, of course the next natural question is: are you on ravelry? Haha!

    I enjoy knitting when I have time time. I love to knit baby booties, baby blankets, and other random things that pop into my mind. I have been knitting for about 4 years now. I am self taught from a book, so I am far from an expert, but it gives me something to do when watching tv besides eating.

    i do, I have been a bit busy for it but really find it helps keep me from munching at night and helps me feel productive and creative.

    I've been working on my granddaughter's "baby" blanket since her mother announced she was pregnant. My little Cloey is finished with kindergarten. I'm still only 3/4th through her blankie. Sheesh!

    I do knit! How fun to find others here who do! :happy:

    I am currently working on my first-ever baby blanket. It is similar to my other projects (basically all scarves), still a rectangle but bigger... lol :bigsmile:

    I knit, but usually only in the fall/winter. I have been knitting for about 4 years.

    Chain mail sounds interesting!

    I knit and crochet as my carpal tunnel syndrome allows. More so in winter, when we're not out on the motorcycles as much. :) I prefer crocheting because I have a tendency to drop stitches, but I knitted a little baby sweater for a friend's kid that turned out really cute.
