**infinite x 1.000 crushing hug**
I don't think I can beat that hug... so, just have a **really big and friendly hug**
Indeed! I want to see that list, no matter how short it is!

I got one of those, once, from a friend whom I'd not seen in a long time. He threw his arms wide, and completely crushed me when they closed upon me. I felt something pop painfully... and it didn't stop hurting for about eight months ^_^; Pretty sure he cracked a rib. On the plus side, I now know to be careful not to hug people too firmly~! ;D

Okay, for those who are interested - Owl, Moon, Hyper - I do hang around on crochet websites.
There, the truth is out.
And if you want to know why, it all started a couple of years ago when we had some seriously high winds up here in The Blustery North. I was out one evening chopping wood and, to cut a long story short, a particularly strong gust came out of nowhere and blew my beard off. As there was the annual (and very important) Viking Festival of the Long Beards the next day I had no choice but to ask my Shieldmaiden to knit me one. She laughed and told me to do it myself (she loves me really) and so I had to get some quick pointers and turned to Google for help. There were luckily a lot of sites to choose from and by three the next morning I had created a beard that I was pretty proud of (check avatar). The festival was a success and my secret was secure! But by then I'd been bitten by the yarn bug and, well, now I just can't stop.
Its a sordid tale, I know, but I feel secure enough to share it with you. I hope you'll understand...

-Send a PM to Barefoot_Monkey and ask him/her to set up a wiki account for you.
-Once you have an account, you can edit your page. There are some instructions [url=http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Template:Userinfo]here[/url] for that, or you can just copy/paste a template from someone else and edit your own information in.
-Once you are running Barefoot Essentials and have a wiki account, there will be an option in the "Essentials" section of your GOG account tab. There is a button to share your library and wishlist.
I think I got that right... Someone step in to correct me or add anything I left out.

I like to crochet, too -- When I first learned, I was putting out a baby blanket at least every week. I should start again -- Doernbechers Hospital would love the donations~!

Crocheting is pretty cool, I know someone who can do it really well and I think it's so impressive. I've been working on some embroidery in my spare time, but I'm still very much a beginner.

And your real name is a palindrome! I like palindromes. I got all excited when it was 2002 (the year my daughter was born - I got all excited about that, too).
Some of the things people can make out of a continuous length of yarn are incredible. My better half works for a knitting magazine and some of the garments she brings home from work are amazing. Real art made by people I have serious respect for. And its a pleasantly natural/traditional creative form, too. All around good in my book ;-)
