Hi, My name is Patti and I live on Long Island. Wondering if anyone on this forum does too. I have just discovered a Knitting and Yarn store in Sayville.

I have knitted on and off for many years. I have never done any complicated knitting, but since looking over your beautiful work, I am going to have to try to do something....maybe start with a cable scarf? Any suggestions or patterns would be greatly appreciated.

I am really enjoying this forum. thanks!

Hello I'm Lennie from Long Island. Do a lot of knitting of hats for babies and premees. Favorite yarn store is A.C.Moore in Massapequa. Great sales on yarn and a huge selection.

Patti,

I lived on Long Island (Kings Park) for over 40 years. Presently, I am in Virginia. I think I know the Knitting Store in Sayville you mentioned. It's so much fun knitting...enjoy your projects!

Hello Helent,

I am thinking about taking a class at Rumpelstiltskins. I was thinking about an intermediate knitting class.

Looking forward to more knitting.....

Maybe we can meet at the store when the weather gets warmer?

Hello, I was born in Amityville....yes, THAT Amityville. A very pleasant town, despite that ridiculous untrue book and the movies made. I finished school in Bay Shore.
I have lived in Savannah, Georgia since my husband's job transfer (Grumman, now Gulfstream Aerospace) in 1968. Not as many knitters and crocheters here as up North, due to the hot humid weather in Savannah, but my needles stay very busy, for family and many charity projects, plus my Church "Sharing Sisters" group, doing Prayer Shawls and lap robes for wheelchair bound Veterans.
And, I've never gotten used to the weather here, I am just not a hot weather person!

my husband and i had an apartment in Amityville for a year or so when we were first married - my brother Joe was an Early American furniture maker with a shop on Oak Street for many years - small world!!!!!!!!!!

hi patti - i wish my old arthritic hands could handle more than little baby hats -
we will just be dropping in to see what she has to offer - my friend is not a knitter so i guess we won't be there too long . . . .
enjoy those needles!
