Hello Rachael and welcome. I'm a knitter, but I know that there are some keen and talented stitchers among us here, so I'm sure you'll quickly feel at home.

Hello Rachael, I'm sure you'll find a good few friends here. I think we are all (to some degree) multi crafted so welcome; don't be shy.

Hi Rachael,

I love your black and white fairy. I have very fond memories of doing cross stitch work at school but haven't done any since . I'm quite tempted to do one of those subversive motto ones that I've seen on the internet. Twisted Evil

Thank you all for the lovely welcome and your comments toothy4

Hi Rachael, Welcome to the forums
You've got some great piece's in your albums (had to look as I'm also more of a stitcher than a knitter but that doesn't matter here)

Hi Rachel. Welcome to the forum.

I learned to crochet last year (after many failed attempts) but finally got to grips with it when I bought Debbie Stoller's book, the 'happy hooker'. Although it uses American terms, it's very easy to understand. I would really recommend it.

Have fun - everyone is really nice here.

Never heard of a Quaker Gameboard, sounds intriguing. Mywork colleague is a Quaker.

I hadn't realised it has been such a long time since I last visited...Well I have learnt the single crochet stitch and I am trying more,I made a doll's blanket for my daughter ! Not much but I am quite proud of it!! I hope to learn more (DH bought me two crochet books for xmas)
I'll try to come by more often!!

Please do - we would love to see what you have made!

Hi Rachael, good to see you again. Well done on completing the doll's blanket.
