Hi everyone, how nice to meet you all. I hope to hear from you as I get acquainted to you all.
I live in SE Kansas in a quaint little town that I love. Since my husband and I retired here, five years ago, I have been learning new things. One of those things I have always wanted to take time to learn is Crocheting. And--now that 2 kids, 3 grandkids and retired status -- are part of my life I have time to do just that.
I hope to learn lots of tips and tricks to help me.
Now I am going to select some of the bottom listed options and try to send this message. I am not too literate in computers, but will give it my best shot.

Hi there! I am Larisa. I live in Europe. I used to crochet doilies for years and now I knit jacquard vest

[fastgranny]

Hi Larisa, nice to meet you. Is your avatar one of the doilies you have made? It is beautiful and much more advanced than anything I have ever made. I am looking forward to learning lots of things this forum. Do you post patterns or pictures of your work?

[kl1000]

Oh yes I love to make filet doilies from #30 thread but i WANT this vest LOL .Oh yes I can show you my works (just bragging )

[fastgranny]

I'd brag too if I could make such beautiful things. I used to cross stitch, but then my eyes got too old (haha). I still sew when I can find time and it is always fun. Our church is having a craft sale this Saturday and two of my friends and I have a booth to sell some things. Each of us does something different. Hope you are going to have a good day. Where I live I woke up to 39 degrees. Burrrr, I think winter is on the way. PS- your #3 doily is the most beautiful and delicate doily I have ever seen!
