About Me:
I'm a TOTAL 'Yarnaholic' and even though I learned to knit at 6, it's only been the past few years that I've become serious about knitting. I took it up as therapy after having had nerve damage and cervical disc surgery. My stash is WAY too full and I have WAY too many acrylic yarns, having recently become addicted to natural fibers! I am at the heel flap on my first pair of socks and am looking forward to many pair in the months ahead.
What's your Ravelry ID (if you have one)? (www.ravelry.com)

What is a Rivalry? I am not familiar with the term.

I started taking lessons from a woman in Robinson Twp. who is teaching me the German style. It is much faster.

Yes, the purses are felted. I figured since I was just starting out it would hide my mistakes much better...lol

Hi Marty, just wanted to introduce myself. I live just 40 miles north of Pittsburgh..Beaver County. I just began knitting last winter and have also become addicted.
I was curious to know which style you use when you knit....English or Continental?
Hope I can learn some tips from your experience.

Hi Marty - I just tossed out a free internet pattern for a mock gull hat. I figure after ripping SEVEN times I'd had enough. I'm working on my Magic Stripes socks and a Reader's Wrap pattern by Lisa Carnahan (lisaknits.com). I bought the new "2 at a time" socks book and will plunge into that next. Got some Happy Feet yarn by Plymouth that's very pretty. - Katy

Hi Marty - nice to meet you, that's my sister's nickname! My Ravelry ID is madamadmiral. I'm working on Magic Stripes cocks and they're coming along fine but I did have to go to my LYS for some help. I bought Melissa 2 At A Time book for the next challenge. She has a group on Ravelry and contributes to the site - YAY!
