AIBU?

Would it be a total faux pas to do this on mn?

We don't hug and we don't hun, right? I think I've got that, spesh from the nm vs mn debate.
But there are a couple of posters in the last few days that I've noticed and I've thought- bloody good point and I like the sound of you.

Do we pm each other and strike up friendships? Or is that way too weird and stalkery and I should without doubt desist?

Washwithcare must be before my time. But I can well imagine.

It takes a particularly sad kind of individual to troll a website.

Seconding having met a very good friend on a similar messageboard (very large age range, mainly women). I can't see why not. Agree with best not to expect anything back, though. I take that tack with responding to an OP with personal experience, too.

I was shown by my GM how to crochet years ago but can't do it now lack of practice and I'm so bad at knitting, the last time I tried knitting a pair of bootees the first one looked like a weird bent willy warmer. Needless to say, I don't bother now. Blush
Nice work Zing

I can't knit but find crochet dead easy.

freeble there was a thread about finding friends and meeting up recently. I see if I can find it (or not if anyone else can find it) because I can't remember what the title was. You might have a better chance of finding someone local on it, as I garther a lot of the mnlocal boards have tumble weed in.

I have made friends on here but only know them on board if that makes sense :)

PMing is something I use when I want to say something without it being public on a thread.

I e recently made my first off-board MN friend. Very pleased with her I am too.

I'm open to more. I think I'm softening in my old age.
