I've been knitting for a few years since retiring from working 11p-7a as a ECU RN. Easily frustrated, most likely from over thinking.
Knitting my grandson (preschool) a hooded sweater every Fall is fun.
Local independent yarn shops are my favorite places to purchase patterns & yarn.

Hello from Syracuse, IN

I have been knitting for over 40 years! Still love learning new techniques! Entrelac and Cables are my favorites.

I am still working full-time as an administrative secretary for two awesome pastors! I have 3 sons, 3 wonderful daughters-in-law, and 8 grandchildren!

Keep learning and growing! Yes...and knit everyday, even if it's only for a few minutes.

Hi, I wasn't aware of any other Syracuse's!
I want to learn how to knit my own socks & Entrelac. So many cool sock patterns and yarn. Having a large (size 12) foot, it's difficult to find cool looking socks.
Unfortunately I over think pattern instructions and end up very frustrated.

I learned on my own for the most part and never really thought about things like yarn size?? Needle size??? Yarn types!! I really had more fun before I knew these things!! LOL!! Now I give it a shot and am always happy if it works and surprised when it doesn't!! I frog alot but that too is almost an art!! Snicker snicker !!! Have fun with it ---figure if not getting paid to do it --- then it should be happy time!!

Hi and a warm welcome from Australia

Welcome,,,go Orange !!! Spend a long weekend up at there for an Army/Cuse game a number of years ago. Of course they won. They're still laughing at me, cause I brought up all these heavy clothes for the game,,,to find out it was in a dome. Our neighbors son was a student there. Loved visiting there,,my cousins also met and graduated there.

Hi from down the road in Utica. Where are your LYS in Syracuse? I shop in Syracuse rather frequently but have only been to Mission Rose. It is very nice there but would like to visit another store if there is one. Welcome to KP. You'll like it here.

You have great yarn shops one in manliest and two others in north syracuse one is combine with a quilt shop. Once you knit a pair of socks you won't stop have made at least thirty pairs

Thank you. Mission Rose is on Rt 11 but I'm not sure which one, perhaps the behind fish cove? I'll have to look for the other one. I will watch for the names and addresses.

Welcome from Western Washington. I once had the pleasure of attending the NY State Fair in your lovely city. If I ever have a chance to return, I'll just have to check out the yarn stores for certain.
