    New member introduction

    hi, my name is Dorothy, I am an 80 year old crocheter and knitter. I spend most of my time doing the above. At the moment I am mostly crocheting. I am housebound now and my wonderful son Doug. Looks after me. Thank goodness my youngest son Dave got me an iPad which keeps me in touch with the world. I have another son who is the oldest but we don't see him as he lives far away.
    My life is wonderful I have so much to be happy for. I didn't mention that Dave comes up every week end and does cleaning and visits.
    I just recently got back to crocheting after quite awhile. I have just crocheted granny squares afghans and rectangular afghans. Now, I have spread my wings and am doing much more. I am busy learning new methods and am a member of The Crochet Crowd where I have been learning leaps and bounds with Mikey. I am happy to join your forum.

    Hi dopeys79, Was just scanning CT forms thought of you. How your Sunday ? Its 54 at 7:30 pm so its wonderful, sun out most of day. What are you making now? Are we ever going to see Pics of your GK's. I hurt my hand thank you it was my left so I can still crochet slowly and rest periods. Have a Great Week ahead & HUGS. Susan MJ
