Hi everyone, just discovered this site and hope to get as much feedback as
possible. I'm new to the site, but also reasonably new to the whole needlecrafts scene. My sewing extends to basic mending/alterations and I've tackled a little cross stitch kit which I really enjoyed, even though I ran out of thread!! My New Year's Resolution is to learn to crochet. My interests basically run to anything that involves stitching, be it with thread or yarn, so I love sewing, all types of embroidery and needlework, knitting and crochet. At some time in the future I'd like to get into quilting and beading too.I subscribe to various needlearts magazines including Piecework, Stitch, Interweave Crochet and Interweave Knits. If there's no needle involved I'd direct my energies to baking. I live in Chile(where needlecrafts are still seen as a woman's hobby!), run my own business and am married with 2 grown up step kids. They all love me and I love them, so that's kinda cool. Please write lots!! Nigel -- -- |

Thanks Joan. Haven't been doing much needlework recently, too much of work that doesn´t involve any needles! I've been reading my latest Jane Austen Knits and there's an interesting article about Dorset buttons which is something I'd really like to do. I 'm attaching one of the photos. I'll let you know if I make any progress! -- Nigel -- |
