map-pin St Ives, United Kingdom

I learnt to knit while suffering from chickenpox as a child. My dad taught me, he was so patient. I struggled most with casting on!!!! That was around 1966 so I have been knitting for 50 years. I was very good a squares and scarves but my first "real" item was a long waistcoat to cover my hot pants in 1972!!!!!
