Today's our Anniversary --we're celebrating with PRIZES!

You are thinking of CafePress…that was our first thought, but their CUTE Tshirts only come in dinky sizes, and they only have one shapeless organic option…

:rollseyes:

Yes yes yes. I just found that out. Lol. Oh well. sniffles I shall wait impatiently!

pats Kome on the head :wink:

Considering that I’ve been on here less than a year, I would have to say that I visit this site more often that I work on computers. It’s definitely been a riot coming here and always learning something new. Though, on the personal side, I figure that everybody here has helped me get through a very difficult time, and for that I thank you all. As for the site, somehow I think the magnitude of what was unleashed by Amy is staggering at the least, and grown beyond her expectations at the most. I keep talking to my mom about this site, and she likes to call it my “support group”. I wonder if there is a 12 step program out there for knitters? :roflhard:

A 12-step program? This is IT, my friend! :rofling:

I’ve often said that if there were a 12-step program for knitting, it wouldn’t work. Everyone would bring a knitting bag since they’d be sitting there and talking, anyway. Kind of like bringing your favorite wine to AA.

It does seem that this forum is somewhat “theraputic”…Sometimes I sit here and read through some of the threads and start laughing…BTW Kelly…loved the lyrics in one of the threads I read today :roflhard:

Who said anything about Quitting knitting? You assumed that because I had a 12 step that I meant that it was to quit. That’s one possibility, the other would be a 12 step to START knitting, hmm I suppose the first step would be to join KnittingHelp.com. Right? admitting that you have an addiction? :smiley:

Or that you need one.
Although, I admit, the knit bug has not really bit me yet…The theory is interesting, but in practice I tend to reach for my hook more often than not. I mean, I AM a Bad Hooker after all. I got a button in my sig and everything.

Yes… Mr Rorshach… I’d like to sign up for your new 12 step program.

:roflhard:

I have to share my KH story, too…
My very first project was a pair of mittens for my MIL last Christmas - I saw m1 in the pattern and freaked out - my how to knit book had nothing about something called m1, and when I searched online, I came up with a lot of computer programming junk… in desperation I searched for “knitting + how-to” and this was the first site that was listed. Not only did I immediately learn what an m1 was, I was blown away by the free patterns page and spent hours browsing through all the links. Once I saw all the things I could make (my knitting book was published in the eighties, and all the patterns in it reflected that :rollseyes: ) I was hooked… And once I found the forum, it was even better. I had to take a break from knitting while I packed and prepared to move, but the forum was great, and really helped me feel like I had some friends during the very lonely first months in our new home.
The people really make
