Hello from Norfolk...England.

Post: # 141783Post shelpit »

Hi everyone, I came upon this site when searching for info on spinning..and it looks such a friendly site that I decided to stay!

I have always been into self sufficiency (my Dad was a very keen 'make do and mend' kinda person and this was in the very early sixties when he was regarded as a bit of a freak for his weird ideas) I have an allotment, keep Bee's and poultry, knit, sew, and am keen to learn how to spin. I also make cheese, and cure my own bacon and hams....with meat from organic farmers - I don't keep pigs.

I an now off to have a read of the boards!

Hello shelpit, from East Harling. You'll find this a great place for information/idea-swapping,etc. Also it's a good place for a mardle!!
it's either one or the other, or neither of the two.

To be sure it's a grand place... and what a glorious day today, the sun warm on your back... and me stuck in the doctors surgery! :lol:

Nevermind, got plenty of knitting done though!
