Member titles
I've noticed that I have senior member under my ID name. I guessed that maybe that was because I am passed a certain age. I'm 49 BTW. It can't have anything to do with how long I've been registered because that hasn't been that long. Apparently, I'm wrong though. I have noticed that a certain young male member that still lives with his parents has senior member listed under his ID name. Can someone explain this to me and others that might want to know?

It has to do with the number of posts. In fact, we've been trying to come up with something more clever and KH/knitting related than Junior through Senior.

So if anyone has any clever ideas, please pipe up!

I was thinking classic:

Newbie, Intermediate, Advanced, Moderator, Administrator, but, that's just me. I have another couple Ideas, too:

Types of yarn:

Red Heart, Wool of the Andes, Malabrigo

Types of needles:

Boye, Inox, KnitPicks/Addi Turbo

Types of knitting:

Scarf, Blankets, Sweaters.


I'll spare you more of the weird brainstorms for now!

Or,

Garter/Stockinette

Knit/Purl Combos

Intricate Lace/Cables

And, I also think it would be nice if all us guy knitters could have "Guy Knitter" or "Knitting Dude" or "Knitting Guy"under our avatars, but before our rank, so people wouldn't get confused.

How about something to do with being talkative or helpful? "seasoned knitter" really wouldnt work? I remember when KellyK first started coming, and she was just quite talkative Still is! And now she is seasoned, but then, she was new! (Just as an example)

Although, the knit patterns would work... like what misstialouise and contiknitter said.

It's kind of ironic that posting a lot on KH gets you labeled a senior member, but talking frequently during class in elementary school meant a note to my Mom telling her she needed to do something about my overactive socializing in class. Who knew being a chatterbox would eventually be cool?

I'm just the opposite. I'm not very chatty but am a seasoned knitter. I still can't cable very well but then again I can bust out a pair of socks like they are out of style. I do agree that we should have more creative titles but alas my brain can't think this early.

All input is welcome!

The problem I see with referring to knitting skill is that a very seasoned knitter might sign up and be called a knitting newbie when he/she is not.

The same with yarn types. Just because someone signed up recently doesn't mean they have to be dubbed Red Heart.:rofling::rofling: We're supposed to be a welcoming place.
