Loving_Hands_2

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to introduce myself. I have just joined the forum even though I have been keeping up with the banter for a while now. My name is Cherryl and I look after the NI Branch of Loving Hands based in Carrickfergus. We donate knitted and crocheted items to several local charities. We attend craft fairs to get a few pounds for wool for the girlies.

We sell hand knitted/crocheted items, eg blankets, cardis, hoodies, scarves, hats, novelty items and loads more. It keeps me out of trouble .....
