Knitters/Crocheters

I know that there are a few of you.
I have a lot of time on my hands, so I'm attempting some new things. I'm actually using patterns now, where before I just knitted whatever came about. Big Grin

I'm beginning to realize that I only have small needles and I'm becoming a yarn snob.

I knitted a hat for my nephew, one for myself (no patterns), a baby-carrier (no pattern), and now I'm going to start working on some fingerless gloves.

Anyone else? Any deals on good yarn, needles, etc.?

Unrelated to crochetting, but I figured crafty with one thing, maybe crafty with others.
Do any of you do anything with ribbon? If you do, where do you buy it online?

Hi Random! AM's suggestion is good. I don't use ribbon though. You might also try ebay.

I made a friend at the library today. She saw my bag and said how much she liked it and she's a crocheter AND a knitter!! Whee Maybe we can keep in touch and she can teach me to knit!

The cool part - she's got a 7 yr old girl and an 11 yr old boy who is a little person. I was in awe of my child who saw nothing different about him and played with him like they'd been friends forever while we waited for the library to open. I wish they'd stay innocent forever. Cloud9

I sold 5 coffee cozies! Whee I sent some to a friend from high school and a co-teacher of hers ordered them for end of year gifts. Rock It's not a lot of money, but it paid for some yarn. Grin

Ravelry! That's where I get all my patterns now. Just do a pattern search and limit it to crochet patterns. Rock

Cute little bag. Girly
