Hi Margee, I'm Karen. Nice to talk with you! I am sorry to hear that you are disabled....but you certainly have a friend with the same in common here. I am disabled, as well due to a degenerative spinal disease and arthritis of my hands, feet, knees, other joints. My children, 2 daughters, are also grown and busy with their lives. I have picked up crochet again after having tried it way back in my twenties....and I absolutely love it! I'm 58yrs old. Would love to have you for a friend. I'm sure we'd have a blast sharing stories...about life AND crocheting...or knitting, if that's your fav. Take Good Care, Karen
