Shelley, I love doing amigurumi and Harper Hedgehog is so cute! Thanks very much for posting the pattern link. Carol

Welcome Pat! Glad you have joined us. Looking forward to seeing more posts from you. Hugs, Carol

Tricky, but I got the pattern today.

Unable to get pattern. Ads keep blocking it out. :(

Patty, adding my prayers, love and good wishes for your recovery. A big HUG from me. Carol

Hi Barbara, I learned to crochet on my lunch hours at work in 1972 when a co-worker taught me the basics. So 42 years for crocheting and I've learned a lot in all those years! Knitting came much...

What a lovely post, Susan. Welcome to the group. Sending you prayers for you and your son.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Meerkat. I dread the day it happens to me. (My DH is 17 years my senior and not in the best of health). Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Carol

I'm using the c2c stitch to make a baby afghan for charity. It goes really fast. Size 13 needles and bulky baby yarn. :)

Very nice work! Specially like the purple afghan. :D

I do what everyone else does - free patterns, sale yarn (specially online), thrift stores, senior discounts, etc. It all adds up! :D

If I would do this I would save a fortune! :)

I agree with all the reasons listed in the article, Barbara and have a couple of my own to add. Since I both knit and crochet I tend to get too many projects going at once with all the great...

Haven't started holiday gifts yet, though I really need to. Need to knit a giant Christmas stocking for my BFF's latest grandson, plus knit/crochet gifts for sister(probably a shawl) and her DH (hat...

My favorite project usually is the one or ones I'm currently working on so right now a beautiful knitted, beaded shawl called Cumulus by SusannaIC and a crocheted ripple baby afghan.

I tend to use purple, lavender and purple variagated yarns a lot. Purple is my favorite color and so far it has worked out well for charity donation projects. :)

Gosh, Dinah, that's awful! I have dizzy spells too, but so far haven't fallen. Mine are mostly sinus related - my inner ear gets messed up. Congrats on the weight loss, though that is a hard way to...

Wow! So excited!!! Got my younger sister and a friend of hers to start walking. They live far away from me but we keep in touch by email and text so we are trying to walk "together" now. They are...

Welcome to the group, cablestitches! Glad you joined us. Are you going to walk on your treadmill or are you going to walk outdoors? How far to you plan to walk to begin with? Remember to go at your...

Dinah, So sorry about your back and neck problems! Hopefully the shots and PT will help and you'll be back walking with us soon. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs, Carol

Actually got close to a half mile yesterday, Roe! And felt good enough afterward to help a friend unpack the U-haul truck she drove back from MT with all her stuff in it. Getting stronger every day!...

8 miles! Wow, Roe, you certainly give us something to shoot for! I'm still barely making a quarter mile - got about 50 feet beyond that yesterday. But it is farther than I got when I first started,...

Dinah - I was bad yesterday as well. Used a 40 minute dizzy spell as an excuse not to walk. Shame on us! It's so easy to make excuses, isn't it? Let's jump back on the bandwagon today and get back to...

I love walking in the rain, Roe, but we get so little rain here in Central Texas I almost never get the chance. Walked from the LYS where my knitting group meets on Sat. to the Mexican restaurant to...

Made a quarter mile yesterday at the Medical Center track with my DH. Think I could have gone further but he started having trouble with his PAD and wanted to quit and go have lunch. At least my dog...
