I started knitting when I was expecting my first baby who is now 46. Now I knit for my grandchildren. I rarely make adult items as I'm quite a slow knitter! I usually tweak a pattern after the first time of using it, maybe combining ideas or features from another pattern. This doesn't always work out well!! But I like being a bit creative and learning new techniques.
I have also done a bit of crochet, and am now learning some simple patchwork and quilting skills. That's a lot of fun!
