Hello (again)

[kate egg]

I thought I had registered in April but was completely lost when I tried to log in, never mind, here I am again! I was introduced to the forum by a very inspirational lady who came to a knitting and crochet group I was at in Northumberland in April, and then reminded of it again when I met another member at the weekend.
I am a little self sufficient, have 4 chickens which lay most days and a lovely veg plot that is thriving despite the lack of rain for the last few weeks. Cannot beat the taste of home grown veg

Well - welcome or welcome back anyway, Kate. May your chickens continue to do what chickens do. Oh - and your veggies too.

Mike

Hi Kate Egg and welcome Where in Northumberland was your knitting and crochet group? I ask because funnily enough I met a very inspirational lady at a knitting and crochet group in Northumberland recently!

Hi - it was at my friend Vanessa's who lives near Seahouses. I met her through a knitting charity and we have become such good friends. She has held 3 knitting weekends that I have really enjoyed

Thank you for the welcomes

Hello from a fellow knitaholic

Thank you
I have just learnt to crochet after trying for ages, so knitting and crocheting to my hearts content (well life gets in the way sometimes but I try as much as I can!)

Hi Kate! I knit too, just starting to crochet. Just across the border from you in Derby.

Hello neighbour! I have knitted for years, and tried lots of times to learn to crochet but could never get the hang of how to hold the hook, then at a knitting show in Perth (Scotland not Australia!) last weekend someone showed me how to hold the hook as if you were knitting - a real eureka moment and I have hardly stopped crocheting since Someone said there is no wrong way if it works for you and this does. I am off to Stafford on Monday morning to meet some more members of our charity group for more crochet tuition, will be an expert soon
