Socknitters Forum

[Schia]

Greetings from New Zealand (one of the *other* fabulous regions/countries in the poll)
Just wanted to come out from lurking in the shadows following the forum and say Hi to you all.
And just out of interest - anyone one else from New Zealand on here?

Hi everyone! Los Angeles here! I just knit my first pair of socks and I think I'm addicted 'cause I wanna knit more and more socks!

Hi,
I am new to Socknitters and I love it! Finally a site that I can relate to! I am from Eastern Ontario Canada near the city of Ottawa. The land of cold winters and hot summers. We are now in the full throes of winter and I am knitting up a (winter) storm.
I too have been knitting for about 25 years and discovered socks about 8 years ago. I have been addicted since.

I live on Vancouver Island off the west coast of Canada.

Just west of me is a huge massive glacier.
It has extra snow just now. Wow!

We usually have rainy winters, but his one is really chilly..Br

Our LYS is awsome ( and within walking distance for me)

I'd love to meet with other socknitters in town ( Courtenay). I only know one --> who is actually my fault.( I loaned her a pattern and now she's done 21 pairs in 9 wks!!) ( chunky weight fo her grandkids)

Born and raised in Hawai`i, now I live in Damascus, Oregon, which is Oregon's newest city, if you can call it that. It's really a tiny town right now, only one stoplight. You can drive through it in less than a minute. We're in the country, about 20 miles SE of Portland.

I miss home, but love Oregon and am very happy living here.

Hi! I'm Deb. I'm new here and just wanted to introduce myself.

I'm married, 30ish (emphasis on the ish) and the mother of 4 beautiful girls who can't wait until I have finally knit enough for myself and will begin knitting for them. muhahahahahaah

[tracyknits]

No, no, no Deb! You just teach them all to knit for themselves!!!

Welcome!

THEY actually taught ME how to knit. LOL But I've blown past them (they're 8, 10 and 13). I am obsessed with felted bags and every time I finish one them foolishly ask who it's for.

New Jersey Girl here.
Can't really say sockknitting is too popular here. They all look at me like I'm nuts when I say I knitting a pair of socks. They just tell me to go to Walmart and buy a pair.

Pretty new to sockknitting, only three pairs done. But saturated in yarn.
Darn it feels GOOD. I'm hooked alright. Mostly do circular needles. I can't recommend enough DVD Sock I by Nenah Galati.

Look forward to posting soon.

I am in Santa Rosa, California.. a pacific coast knitter with an addiction to buying sock yarn on ebay and other on line stores...

[calicokitty6]

I have a couple of favorite ebay sites myself. I found one who offers kettle dyed / hand dyed roving and sock yarns in Merino and Peruvian wools. I need to stay away from her shop because I keep wanting them all. I practically drool on the monitor when I see the colors. I find myself petting the yarn on the screen.

I also have a couple of favorites on Etsy as well.
