Hello to my knitting friends! I have read posts from KP for a long time and thought it was finally time to join in all the fun! I love to knit and crochet but most of the time now is spent knitting. I live in northeast TN (Kingsport) and am mom to a 19-year-old son, 2 Doberman, and 2 cats!
Hi Colleen! It's about 11:45 here...I am a terrible night owl! Usually go to sleep around 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning!!
I mostly just knit scarves, hats, shawls, afghans. Am in the process of learning to knit socks and enjoy doing that. I'm currently working on a baby blanket for a friend's first grandchild (due in August).
Do you have favorite things you like to knit?
Glad to get to talk to you! Can I add you to my "buddy list"?
Hi again, Colleen! I know what you mean about wanting to just try lots of new knitting stitches, etc.! Are you able to get any PBS stations out there? There are a couple of good knitting shows on our local PBS. I have learned so much from watching them. Knit and Crochet Today and Knitting Daily are the two I watch. They are 30-minute shows and are packed with instructional demos/advice.
My name is Terri but my family and friends call me TJ...so I answer to both! I'll see if I can figure out how to add you to my 'buddy list'! Hope your Monday is good. You guys have had a lot of snow lately haven't you. We have had an abnormally warm January. For two weeks the temps were in the upper 60's which has been great. I do not like cold weather at all and am already looking forward to getting out and mowing the yard! (I love doing that.) One of these days, I will get a picture up so everyone will know how I look!! Talk to you tomorrow!
Hi Sally! We are practically neighbors aren't we! I would love for us to get together some and knit. Maybe you can show me some tricks!! I'm free most any day/evening except Wednesday's..I help out at church for our Wed. nite meals. Maybe we could meet for lunch sometime and bring our knitting with us???
Hi there Geraldine! I noticed you are down in the sunshine state!!! I LOVE Florida. Have had many vacations down on the gulf at Indian Rocks Beach. My sister and her family are vacationing in Orlando as we speak. Sure hope you all can keep sending up that warm gulf air!! Our winter has been great so far! Stay in touch, Terri
Thank you, Carabella, for the welcome! This website is going to be lots of fun and I can make so many new friends. I see you come from Ireland!!! My ancestry is Scots/Irish and am very proud of it!! Am adding you to my buddy list, so keep in touch with me! TJ (ssk1953) :lol:
No longer than I've joined the group I have had so much fun! I'm enjoying chatting with people from other states and countries! Let me know if you ever get to Kingsport to visit your friend!
