Friendship Room, Finding a Pen-Pal

Looking for a e-mail buddy? ..... Need a crafting friend?

Friends are quiet angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly!

Remember when a Pen Pal was regarded as a very dear friend? Remember getting to know your pen-pal as if you were family? Well it can happen agIain here.

To write to someone listed below simply click on their "e-mail " link and introduce yourself.

Or to find an e-mail buddy write your note to knit@knitting-crochet.com with pen-pal in the subject line.

Here is a little something that came my way and thought you would like it too. Thank you takesian@erols.com

Friends

If nobody smiled and nobody cared and nobody helped us along, If every moment looked after itself and good things always went to the strong; If nobody cared just a little about you and nobody cared about me, and we stood alone, in the battle of life, What a dreary old world this would be. Life is sweet, just because of friends we have made and the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. It is doing and giving for somebody else on which all of life's splendor depends. The joy of this world, when you've summed it all up, is found in the making of friends.

Hi, My name is Michelle and I currently live in Iowa.  I am a 26 year old female and have been crocheting on and off since I was 12.  I'd love to learn to knit, and tried teaching myself.  When I was 12, my aunt taught me basic crocheting, the chain and single crochet.  Since then, I've taught myself a few more types of stitches in crochet.  I am a homemaker, a business owner, and I crochet as a hobby.  I own a travel portal and I would love to travel.    I would love to hear from you.  Please contact me at  lilangel062582@yahoo.com  .  Thanks.

Hi  My name is Jo. I have been married for 36 years and counting. I am a lucky mother of two boys and one girl. I have two wonderful grandkids, boy and girl. We live on a dairy farm in Arizona. My job on the dairy is doing the cow  records. I have just found knitting, and I am taking lessons when I can. Please take pity on my cows and the Vet. They are getting a little tired of listen to me talking about knitting and Tony (Vet) is living in fear he might get a hat or socks. So if you would be interested in a pen pal please e mail me. Oh yes, I do crochet too. I have quiet a few dogs and cats, all but two are rescues. Jo    azdairygranny@hotmail.com

Hey there...I think it would be great to have a pen-pal!  My name is Judy.  I have a lot of interests on the go, and  I seem to be a person that loves tolearn.  I guess I have been that way all my life.  My sister's mother in law taught me the knitting basics when I was 7 and I picked up crocheting on my own.  I am retired now and my husband and I spend our winter's in Alabama, but I always have a knitting or crochet project on the go, eh.  Friendships enrich your life, so I'm hoping to connect with someone, so feel comfortable about emailing me...I would just love it. jmlcarthewbay@yahoo.ca

Hello,  My name is Noreen, I am 60 years old and love to crochet and knit.  I work part time in a WalMart fabric and crafts department, which I enjoy, most of the time, but am looking forward to retiring in a year or two, as is my husband of 40 years, who works there in the sporting goods department.  I have two daughters and one grandson, aged 8, who is my great love and joy.  I had bariatric gastric bypass surgery last september, and have lost 65 pounds, but have gotten back into my old habit of "grazing" a lot of the time, and not exercising like I should, mostly because I have felt very isolated and alone, without anyone to talk to who would understand.  So if there is someone out there who likes to "talk" on line, about just about anything, I also love to read, and share patterns, etc.  I love my 2 cats, and my husbands goofy springer spaniel, who thinks he's a lap dog, and could just use a good friend, who likes to be "silly" sometimes.  So write me at nfrede1@chartermi.net.  God Bless.

Hello,  I was looking for crochet patterns and came across your web site.  Would be great to have someone to write to about crocheting. I don't knit, but would love to learn one of these days. I am 62 years old and have 4 sons, 3 grandchildren and one great husband.  Oh, I also have 2 beautiful dogs that I adopted from the animal shelter.. They are going on 11 and 10 years old now. I love to read, look for new interesting recipes on the net and just surf the net for different patterns.  I crochet lapghans, hats, gloves, stoma bibs, tote bags, scarves and anything else I can find a good pattern for.  I donate these to Cancer Action. Been doing this for 2 years now, since I lost my twin sister right after our 60th birthday.  Hope to hear from someone soon.  Marilyn  mom_durgan@yahoo.com

Hi, my name is lisa I am 45yrs old married with  2 children 23 & 18. I live in Victoria, Australia. I love to crochet. Mainly baby blankets, although I do other crafts (knitting & quilting, egg shell decoration folk art etc) I always seem to enjoy crochet the most and have stuck with it for nearly 30 yrs. My husband and I do craft markets twice a month where my husband sells his doll & teddy bear colonial wooden furniture and I sell my blankets. I work 4 nights a week as a music coordinator for a music school. I also have a 3yr old grandson who I babysit 3 days a week. I would love to communicate with other people with the similar interest, and maybe swap ideas or just have a chat.       Hope to hear from you lisa  fluffscrafts@hotmail.com

Hi, My name is Pattie. I'm 45 years old and live in Massachusetts. I have one 19 year old son, am widowed but now in a relationship. I use to knit years and years ago but stopped and am interested in starting again. My first project to try will be a irish knit sweater (i always starts with the hard things)
 
I work full-time and make jewelry in any spare time I have but think knitting will fit into my schedule easier. Its more portable so that should be a help.
 
If anybody is interested in chatting, feel free to look me up. Would like to meet new people (even if its just online) I like to hear my people in other places, see how things are for everybody. So drop me a line if interested=)

Hi, My name is Val I am 59 years old, married with 2 children, 4 grandchildren and 1 great grand son.
 
We live in Chesterfield Derbyshire,I have recently retired from work for health reasons and we have also just moved to a retirement flat, leaving me a little!!!!! spare time.
 
I have recently begun to knit again and as large items are awkward for me I knit baby clothes for our local Premature Baby Unit, using any bits of wool left over to make squares which I then use to make blankets for the unit (these are recycled to Cats Protection Unit later).
 
I am determined to try and learn to crochet this year, I love to read and like music.  I have a beautiful Lhasa Apso dog called daisy who I walk several times a day as she misses the garden we used to have, but she gets lots of fuss from people in the other flats where we live.
 
My grandchildren are my treasure and I spend  lot of time with them doing school runs and babysitting etc. Would love to hear from anyone.  aldersonval@yahoo.com
