I de-lurked last year and even posted a few times in Supernatural, but I'm often the last one to the party.
I'm another Pittsburgh lurker who knits--although, I have not advanced much beyond retangles, either (family and friends have been well-stocked with scarves), and I'm unlikely to until I finish cross-stitching a TARDIS tissue box cover for the friend who got me into Doctor Who.
I'm a legal editor, I've been married forever to an illustrator/cocktail columnist, I'm the mother of a three-year old boy who should be asleep but I can hear him talking to his bed buddies as I type, and we live with two elderly felines.
I mainly lurk in the TV threads due to my current obsessions with "Supernatural," "Top Chef," "Project Runway," "Criminal Minds," "Mad Men," "Doctor Who," "Torchwood," and "Being Human," I love the incredible, funny, insightful discussions and will often race here after seeing the latest to see what people are saying. But with the whole life thing--that can often be days, weeks, or in the case of me just discovering new Who, years later.
I also need to change my name because seeing my name kinda freaks me out a little when I post.
Hello again! Do you know you can request a name change in the Bureaucracy thread? edit: wait no, it's Building a Better Board.
vrooooom is my delightful and awesome cousin.
Oh, duh. I didn't connect the board name right away. Waves to vrooooom from CO.
I remember vrooooooom also! (Er, mainly because of the name. Hi!!)
I am loving hearing from lurkers. I think it's great that people have a positive experience here, even when the pace might preclude jumping in. (But you totally should, if you want.)
Hello, vroomvroom and lwadams!
Howdy vroomvroom and lwadams!
I knitted once. Made a kick ass, two color scarf for my mother. I tried to make another for me. Forgot how to it. Couldn't even do the start without it falling apart. Must find another cute girl to teach me again. Worked the first time.
Hello back to all. Yes, I have the infamous "real" name of our favorite slayer.
Hi Vroom! Hi Lwadams!
I stopped knitting for almost five years, because it was impossible to do with HKF. Making things is a favorite activity, and currently, knitting is my craft drug of choice. Also, you can do it while waiting for people, going to co-op meetings, and watching tv. Sitting still waiting for people, or listening to the same thing get re-hashed again because of one dissent is not a favorite activity.
I suck at teaching how to knit, though. Apparently. According to HKF.
Shir, you should try - it's good fun! Scarves especially. Also, going to meetings and knitting a scarf means you can carry small stake-like objects and use them for good wholesome projects, whilst muttering 'stabby stabby stabby'* inside your head. No one is the wiser. (*only at co-op meetings that go on too long)
