Hello from Birmingham!

Hi all,

I've been registered for a while but haven't mustered up the minerals to post so far... and this seems to be a good place to start!

The site is fab, and this forum seems excellent, so many great ideas and anecdotes in one place, what a goldmine!

I'm very much a novice at being self-sufficient, being a student means moving house and sometimes country every year at the moment, so the closest I've come is through vegetables in window boxes and a bit of foraging (mostly with a view to making sloe gin...). learning to knit is my current task... tricky but enjoyable.

Anyway, just wanted to say 'hi' and thanks for having me here!

Bryony

Hi there and welcome. Have also done a lot of moving - tiring but interesting and great for staying adaptable and making new friends. Were ex pats from Bournville and now live in Spain and love it. Im a new member too, what a great site. Im at the other end of life to you and am really enjoying doing all the things I've not had time for. Getting back to knitting is one - good luck with yours.

Hello Bryony and Benjy
I'm quite new too, but loving this site. I keep meaning to pick up the knitting again, haven't really done anything since I wasabout 12, but recently found a my first how to knit book. Its very 70's but I think I might give some of the dolls clothes a go for my daughter, at least they should be quick to finish!
