I'm not really a spinner (I ca't seem to get a consistency going), but I recently spun a little when I couldn't find the right light green for a calla lily knitting project (to be felted later) but I could find wool in that green. As for projects I'm working on now, I am trying to finish a hat in the next day, a lace shawl…

My main project now is a "mystery" afghan I started a couple years ago at my old knit shop. We would have a once a month "class" where we worked on a different yarn in this one pattern. I made it even more different by also doing a different pattern each section, though usually the fancy yarns end up being just straight…

At 5' 9.25", my ideal weight would be in the 162-167 lb range. When I was in my 20s, I was able to get to 155 lbs, but now that I am in my 40s, I know that will be hard to reach again.

He was nice to me, especially since I was wearing a t-shirt from his college (which I also went to, but many years…

Hi!! I'm Leslie and I've been knitting off and on since 1999. I once knew how to crochet (back in high school), but haven't been able to re-learn it since. I'm 43, married, but no kids (just dogs who hate to wear clothes). I am an accountant by trade, but my hobbies, besides knitting, include scrapbooking (both paper and…

I'm 5' 9.25" and have heels, but can no longer wear them (foot issues). Hubby is 5'8", but doesn't mind my height. I used to love wearing heels and towering a bit over my dad (who was 5'10"), but our old house was built for short people so I had to duck a lot, LOL.
