I am from Long Island, New York and love to knit. I have been knitting for about 20 years on and off (seriously for about 4 yrs.). I taught myself how to knit from a book when I was about 15 years old. I remember having a hard time casting on. I had to put it down in frustration then I picked it up and got it. I did the same thing with the purl stitch. Well here I am some years later and addicted to all the fibers out there. I patted myself on the back this last summer when I finished my first sleevless sweater. I don't think I am alone when I say this: It is dangerous for me to go into any yarn stores. My stash is getting bigger. I have my stash cataloged with the patterns (project) I want to use it for on the computer so I don't forget. There just is never enough time for me in the day to get a good knit-in done.
Also, none of my friends share the hobby and it is very hard to find others to knit with. I just bought a house on the eastern end of Long Island and now it is harder.
Well, enough babbling. I am glad to be here.
:-)

Hello Ms. V -- glad you're here and welcome! Yep, sounds like you're seriously hooked -- as are we all. You are also in the right place for advice, encouragement, ideas, stories, humour and just plain fun.
Enjoy,

Welcome to the forum Ms V. I'm Vicky. I taught myself to knit also but just this year.....20 years of knitting you have alot of experience to share...I'm a sponge fill me w/ your knitting knowledge!!! 
You haven't found any knitter's on Long Island? I would think there would be a lot of knitters there....do they have a yarn shop? If you don't find any....you have an international group of knitters here on the boards just chomping at the bit to get to know you and knit w/ you on-line!
Take care and I hope to hear a lot of knitting from you!

Eleanor: I used to live in Massapequa Park! I had an apartment on Michigan Avenue. In April I bought a house in Ridge which is just about 10 miles west of Riverhead. I am on a half-acre and love it.

Ms V: You are far away! I've been out to Riverhead. What a coincidence that you used to live a Michigan Ave., that's right near me. What made you move out to Ridge, besides having 1/2 acre of land? Oh well, we could have been neighbors. Well I guess we'll just have to correspond through the forum and if you're ever out this way be sure to look me up, okay?
