I love all types of knitting, crochet and needlework, as well as cooking, baking and jam/pickle making when I have time.
I mainly knit these days as with most people time is limited and knitting is easy to pick up in the evening and do a bit......
I've been knitting since I was about 7yrs old, through my teenage years when it wasn't really that cool ( I didn't tell anyone) and ever since.....now in my forties, its a fashionable hobby and I can finally own up to it :-D
apparently I'm a strange knitter because I have always tucked the right hand needle under my arm.....some people say its a northern thing (i'm from Yorkshire) and others just think I'm weird!
I make everything from shawls and blankets, baby and young childrens knits to cot quits and bumpers.
My love of all things crafty came from my paternal grandma, she passed on her knitting, crochet and baking skills...... oh and I also inherited her knees......not quite so chuffed about that! :-)
