Knitters / Crocheters / Fiber Arts Folk?

I was just wondering if there were any people in the family who knit, crochet or weave/spin/otherwise wallow in yarn?

I've only been crocheting for a couple of years and have just started knitting but I'm loving it (when I'm not frustrated with the knitting!). I just wondered if anyone else had the same addiction :)

And I apologize if this is the wrong forum; I couldn't tell if this was a game-only channel (begs forgiveness) ;)

I knit with a round loom or a rectangular loom.  I find it relaxing (when i don't muck up lol).

Yay! Nice to know there are other yarn crafters about. And Cattrya I think that's why i am enjoying it so much. I love the rhythm of crochet and knitting. I find crochet more relaxing as it doesn't seem to require as much focus as knitting does. It's almost meditative. Maybe when I'm better at it, knitting will be too.

Edited to add: if anyone is interested in being friends on Ravelry, send me a pm! I love seeing what other people are working on and sharing experiences.

I used to do a lot of knitting and crocheting - haven't lately though - but this post makes me want to go check out my yarn stash in the basement!

My biggest problem was finishing projects.  I loved making socks - didn't take too long and fun to make because of the different techniques.

Don't know what Ravelry (in my case should be un-ravelry as that's what I did a lot of hah) but will check it out :)

Ooh, Ravelry! http://www.ravelry.com

It's a great source of inspiration, free and not-free patterns, discussion forums, stash database, pattern library, all sorts of good things for knitters, crocheters and weavers. 

I especially love the pattern search. I can search by type of item, type of yarn, skill level, etc. I used it to find a Christmas tree garland, bows and star-shaped Christmas ornament patterns this holiday season. You can make favorites as you browse the patterns and go back to them later when you're ready to craft.

There are some really accomplished people on there, and I'm in awe of their skills. And there's a lot of beginners like me :) Do take a look! I think you'll love it.

I knit, quilt, and do some needle work.  Don't do much of quilting as I do not have the room I once had.  Really should look at doing some knitting again, loved to make sweaters.
