Hi I'm Cheryl, nick name Charlie, I've been knitting since I was 8 years old and crocheting in my teens. My favorite things to knit are socks, but I can knit just about anything including toys. One of my reasons for wanting to lose weight was because it will be easier and less expensive to make sweaters and garments. I've lost 90 pounds so far and have another 10 pounds to reach goal. I love making things so that I don't get bored and eat. Before I lost this weight my two reasons I tended to eat too much was boredom and feeling lonely.1

Hi, everyone! I've been crocheting since an elderly neighbor taught me at the age of eight, but I didn't really start moving forward with gusto in my craft until the last five years or so. I typically make a lot of blankets, and my work is sought after in the local community because I can crochet graphgans (graphs with complex pictures crocheted into an afghan). Right now, I have too many projects I want to work on--I'm trying to make a stuffed animal as a funny gift for my dad, I'm trying to crochet myself a warm winter cardigan, my mother-in-law asked me to make her a cape by Maggie's Crochet, I have can cozies and a shawl to finish and send out as birthday gifts for my grandparents...not to mention all the things I would like to make!
I've known for a couple of years that I need to lose some weight. I have three kids, all are extremely energetic, and I have a hard time keeping up with them. It's been at the back of my mind, but I'm starting to notice a few health problems cropping up as a result of my excessive weight and bad eating habits. I'm trying to finish my degree, but I'm having a hard time doing that because I can't focus very well. I suspect a change in diet can help with that. I also felt some sciatic nerve pain developing in my lower back that wasn't there before, and my weight will only make that worse--if it isn't causing it in the first place, which is likely.0 -
Hi everyone! It looks like forums are less busy than they were when I first used MyFitnessPal 5 years ago. I've been knitting since 2010, crochet since about 2013. I mostly make socks these days but made tons of baby things when my kids were little.0

I am Cat. I learned to knit and crochet when I was 7. I am 69 now,so that’s a lot of yarn under the bridge. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 50 years. We have 3 grown children (homeschooling mom from 1st grade through highschool. Whew!) and 7 (so far) grandkids. I would rather knit than crochet, but will do either if I see a pattern I like. My favorite project is socks, cuff down.0
