Welcome, Rose! I hope you are able to learn some more interesting stitch patterns to expand your projects!

I like Facebook, simply for how easy it is to stay in touch with friends and family. Most of my friends are at different colleges or working in different places, so it's nice to be able to see what...

It's getting to be that time of the year again, especially if you are making gifts! Do any of you make holiday gifts for your friends and family? I usually make something for Christmas, but I'm...

Thanks fairynatb! I think I'll try that, but make it a bit thinner as I think that would look better on me. I was looking for crochet items, as I'm a new crocheter but a seasoned knitter!

I'm a big reader as well, though I tend to be reading more textbooks these days lol. I must, must recommend "Room" by Emma Donaghue. AMAZING. Also, both of Lisa Genova's books I found very good.

I've been a member of this local group called the Knitting Sisters. They work with a number of different charities and then let the knitters know what they need. I've knitted quite a few dinosaur...

I've never had cramps, but I've gotten a sore wrist and tingling in my fingers. I was actually diagnoses with carpal tunnel, and was told to wear a brace when I have symptoms to help take the...

Thanks - I'll definitely be checking it out! I find it so much easier to learn from videos as well.

I like knitting, reading, and walking. I also enjoy baking and cooking, as well as playing games. In terms of crafts, I also make cards and jewelry.

I have never heard of plastic canvas! What is it exactly? It sounds like something that is not as portable as crochet and knitting

I have a yellow lab, and she would not enjoy wearing coats! That being said, she has a fairly thick coat and I live on the West coast in Canada, so it isn't as cold here. She does like wearing...

I haven't, but would like too. I have a number of patterns saved that combine knitting and crocheting, but the crochet often seems to complicated for me. Also, I'm not sure if this qualifies as...

I'm sick too - I had a cold this summer as well. Very poor timing, as I have exams next week and just feel like lying around and not thinking!

Has anyone else tried white chilli? It's one of my favourite winter meals! I also add cilantro to mine

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 onions, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced

I always stay home for the holidays. My family is local, so we will be visiting. I too really enjoy decorating and baking Christmas treats!

The beret looks super cute! I don't think I can pull that look off, but my sister can. I'm more of a toque person haha.

I'm in British Columbia, Canada, about an hour away from Vancouver. I'm right by the ocean :) The town I live in is fairly small though

Does anyone have any suggestions for good patterns for beginners? Perhaps something other than the standard scarf or washcloth - I already have a ton of those from my knitting ventures.

I was going to post that one by InnerHooker as well! It is absolutely adorable! Way too complicated for me yet though!

Thanks all! I actually have a lot of friends who knit and crochet as well :) I find knitting to be easier than crocheting, but I've heard crocheting is easier! I think it really depends on what...

It really depends! For tablecloth and place mats, I'd probably use some kind of linen, so it has a bit of a weight but is still washable. For blankets and throws, I usually use wool or cotton, or a...

I really like elann.com. They have a nice selection of yarns, and always have new things. They also have bulk bag sales quick frequently (monthly I believe). Shipping isn't free but it is very...

I have tried selling on etsy and have a shop, but it hasn't been updated in awhile. I sold cards, yarn crafts, and jewelry, but found that it took a lot of time and effort, and really wasn't worth...

I usually crochet or knit everyday while watching T.V. for a couple of hours. I find it very relaxing and I like to keep my hands busy even when I'm sitting down! I tend to work the fastest while...

Hi, my name is Janelle and I'm a 21-year-old student working towards my degree in psychology! I am just beginning to learn to crochet, but have been knitting for a couple of years. I'm finding it a...
