Hello from southern New Jersey

[Klockie]

Hello everyone. My name is Klockie and my passion is crocheting and knitting. I am house-bound due to health problems plus I am not to mobile. I keep in touch with the world with the help of my IPad and my laptop. I love to shop on line and I also read with my Nook and the Kindle App. I can't wait to browse through the forum and make new friends.

Hi Klockie! I'm Karen (CrochetKaren) and I'm originally from New York...my Dad's family from New Jersey. I live in Las Vegas now. I look forward to sharing all things yarn and crochet with you.....don't knit as of yet. I am also house-bound due to health problems. I bet we become fast friends! Take Good Care.

Hi Karen! Glad to make your acquaintance! My given name is Florence. Klock is my mother's maiden name so I use Klockie as a remembrance of her and her family. I have COPD and lupus but I try to stay positive and live life to the fullest possible. I live with my daughter and her family. I'm looking forward to hearing fro you again!

Hello Larisa! Thanks for the welcome. I see you are a doily maker. I, too, have made many doilies. I have done several afghans, baby blankets and am currently working on a shawl. Do you make anything besides doilies?

Hello Imalefty! Where in north Jersey are you? I'm in one of the Washington Townships, south of Camden. I hope to be able to join in with posts once I get familiar with system set-up.

Hi Florence! Thanks for your personal hello. I just LOVE your story behind why you use Klockie. As a family researcher myself I can really appreciate that. Sounds like you do just what I do, given our illnesses....live our lives in the most positive and fullest way possible. The only way to do it, right? I have a genetic spinal degenerative disease called Spondylolisthesis, plus Spinal Stenosis. Also have arthritis of the hands, feet, and various other joints. I fight hard to keep my hands as healthy as possible so I can continue to crochet for many days to come. I look forward to our continued friendship....and please tell me if you'd rather be called Florence or Klockie. Bye for now.....
