Hi everyone, just found your forum through Google!!! Thought you might be pleased to know!!!
My name is Edwina I am 50 something going on 20 something, well no-one wants to get old. I am married with 2 daughters (who keep me young and in my place!!). I work 4 days a week and love knitting. Have been knitting :knit: on and off since quite young as my mum taught me. I am knitting a lovely bear at the moment and really enjoy knitting toys and childrens clothing, nothing too big. Years ago I was into all the fair isle, intarsia etc, but prefer something quick and easy now, so I suppose I am a fairly experienced knitter.

Anyway have rambled on too long now and it is late but look forward to having a chat with everyone very soon

Edwina xx :P

Hi Taralou - so glad you found us, and I'm sure you'll find lots of people who share your love of bears and toys in general. You're very welcome, and I'm sure you'll have loads of knowledge to share with us - hopefully you might pick up something new as well :smile: Looking forward to chatting and seeing your bear family.
