Welcome Dustin to our KAS community. I hope you enjoy the forum as much as I do. If you have any questions please give a shout and someone will try to answer. There is a thread for introductions called Meeting You if you care to introduce yourself, if you haven't already.
I look forward to getting to know you better in the coming months and hopefully seeing some of your project photos.
Win, win it is! Welcome Dustin! So glad you joined us. Check out the New Member Guide on the "Main Page" tab above. Join the US Group and help us sponsor a creche. Post your questions and comments. Oh, and happy knitting!
Ah yes, I found my mum's knitting supplies and while I've donated most of the knitting needles to KAS (sent them to Africa) I have used her yarn leftovers wherever I can. I sympathize over the 4 large garbage bags of assorted yarns...I brought home two huge ones when my friend moved and asked me if I wanted any spare yarn. That'll keep us both out of mischief for a while eh? ;) You are carrying on a long and illustrious tradition of men knitting. Have you ever seen any of designer Kaffe Fassett's work? He's a wizard with colors. http://www.kaffefassett.com/Knitting.html I am never going to be that brilliant but love looking at it! Seattle area? No wonder Puyallup sounded familiar, I had a good friend who lived there! (as you age the brain is the first thing to go, lol) You've got rain and more rain at the moment haven't you? That's so cool that you can teach your Mom to knit too. Mine was a whiz at knitting but I take more to crochet. Hope to see you around the boards too. Glad to meet you!
Welcome Dustin! Glad to have you with us on Knit A Square. I agree 100%, this is a win win situation for me. My work goes straight from my hands to make a difference to a child who likely has no family, no toys, nothing. The photos really get to me sometimes, I feel so blessed to have a tiny house with plumbing, heat, water etc. I love crocheting (sorry, but I'm a happy hooker, heh heh heh) but our other male who's on here a lot, Robert Hoddy, also knits. (his stripey square pattern was recently featured) Do check out the Main Page, listed above in the header, where you'll find the New Member Guide link where you'll find my rather convoluted route to get to the Discussion Boards. There's probably an easier route but it works for me. :) Hope to see and hear from you in future around the boards and welcome to KAS!

Win, win indeed. We couldn't agree more!
