Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

Hi everyone,

Thought I would introduce me. I'm just getting into crafting, specifically knitting, hope to get better at crochet, want to learn to patchwork and have cross-stitched on and off for years.

I'm Irish, living in Dublin with OH and 5yr old boy and 3 yr old girl, cat, chickens and dog. Will be working parttime until Christmas until I give it up in favour of more family oriented life, which I really hope will include a little more time for knitting & other projects Very Happy

Ummmm....I'm a virgo, a bit picky, but creative. Oh, and I know Auntie Noo from another forum, so thanks Noo for recommending what looks to be a friendly and helpful forum. Wink

Anyway, be gentle with me, only a beginner! Shocked

Hi Elaine - Great to see you made it!! If you need any help with anything just yell. There is a whole section on sewing, but if you need help with your patchwork then just ask on there, as we talk more about knitting really, but lots of people sew so there will be plenty of help.

Welcome!
