How many folks here like to crochet and knit?
Er, men too. Don't be shy.
I have recently been getting back in to the habit. Knitted a bit, crocheted a bit, and somebody right now is trying to get me hooked (sorry about the pun) on knitting boards and round knitting looms. I rather like the knitting looms as it speeds up the process greatly from having to do base stitching from knitting needles.
A very long long long time ago... Wow, it really was a long time ago... I think Carter was in office, I was even part of a knitting-crocheting circle... The ladies were really very suprised that a man would join them. They made me a lot of cookies and cakes and such and we would sit around and stitch and it was really rather pleasant. We would make hats for the poor and homeless. Mittens too. Sweaters. I miss those times. If I think about it hard enough, I am pretty sure I can fool my self in to thinking life was simpler back then.
And then all those times spent in a hospital bed recovering from injuries... I think I would have gone mad with out books, crochet hooks, and yarn.
I don't even know why I picked it up again, but I have.
Any Lurkers out there share a love of yarn?

All alone, or in twos,
The ones who really love you
Walk up and down outside the wall.
Some hand in hand
And some gathered together in bands.
The bleeding hearts and artists
Make their stand.
And when they've given you their all
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy
Banging your heart against some mad buggers wall.
"Isn't this where...."
