    I tried knitting and failed miserably, but I do crochet and spin yarn! :)

    My husband knits, he's in MFP but not to be social, just to track his numbers and be supportive of me. He has an account on Ravelry.com, I think it is under StephenHJ. He's only been knitting for 18 months and was already designing his own patterns within 4 months of starting. He started with a 12 foot long scarf ala Dr Who, which is how he got started. That is so. Uch work you can't possibly ask someone to make it for you. So he learned to do it himself. He even made my dog a dark gray sweater with red paw prints on it so he didn't have to walk her in something pink.

    I love to knit! I carry my project in my purse these days, so I can knit whenever I'm stuck in a waiting room! I probably look pretty silly pulling half a hat out of my purse all over the place, but I enjoy it.

    I love to knit and just recently heard about and joined MFP. I actually heard about it while in my favorite knitting store!

    I love to knit! I've would love to crochet too, but I just cant' seem to get the hang of it.

    Unfortunatly I have lost my mojo for the last couple of months. I blame it on that I want to make an Aran style sweater but no job so no spending on new yarn at the moment :(

    I do knit and would love to knit more often but I do not have the time. I just wished my town had a yarn store. If I want nice yarn, I need to purchase it online or drive about an hour and half away to the nearest yarn store. A year ago at work I managed to get one of my co-workers hooked on knitting now and she has gone a couple times to a weekend knitting retreat. This is just a place that the women rent usually on by the lake and it is a nice big cabin and all that is done is some knitting, cocktails, eating, and just helping or teaching one another. :smile:

    I love knitting. I'm currently working on socks for the hubby and I need to finish up a sweater. I also am working on a fast knit dishcloth for a change of pace. We have a group that meets in my office during lunch to knit.
