I'll start!! I'm Angelika. I knit, crochet and machine knit. I've owned my store since 1987, and been online with my store since 1995, www.yarn-store.com/. I'm a published hand knitter and machine knitter, but being a store owner, I manage business more than design. My favorite things to crochet lately are scarves and hats because in the evening I'm tired and that's what brings me the greatest relaxation. Crochet is my newest passion. I love to open of stitch dictionary books and pick a stitch and do a hat or scarf. Read more: yarn-store.boards.net/index.cgi?action=display&board=crochet&thread=3&page=1#ixzz2FcGvNlfg

Hi! I'm Laurie and I love to create! I sew, crochet and knit. I absolutely love Youtube for the tutorials in knitting when I get stuck on something! I recently got a knitting board and can't wait to try it. I love to crochet edgings on various projects...have done edgings in fine crochet thread and attached them to pillowcases. They make wonderful gifts. I don't keep near enough of what I do. I love to give things away.

Hi, I'm Erin. I love to knit and spin, and I can crochet (poorly). I'm pretty addicted to sock knitting these days, even though I live in Arizona, where I don't have that many chances to wool socks!

Whoops, I just noticed that this is for machine knitting, not hand knitting!

Hi, I'm Kate and I love to crochet. Taught myself how when I was undergoing treatment for breast cancer. All recovered now and I have gotten pretty darn good at crochet. I have even won some prizes at the State Fair. I am always looking for my next project.

I'm is mostly self-taught but have made it a point to add new techniques to my arsenal of craftiness. I collect buttons, books, yarn, patterns, and more yarn. Nice to meet you!

Hi all, I'm Terri from Virginia. I machine knit, hand knit, a little crochet and the last couple of years I've been learning to bead. I've known of Angelika's site for many, many years now and was tickled that she set up this forum. I have 2 machines, a bulky punchcard and an electronic standard, both Brother, both with ribbers. Hoping to get to know some mk'ers here.
