I've never tried chrocheting, but I used to to be a mean knitter (my Nan taught me), though I may have forgotten the finger-moves since; is it like riding a bike, you never forget?'It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.'

You had me at 'finger moves' :rotfl: I find it less faffing about than knitting. I'm good, just catching up on much needed rest. How's yourself?'I solemnly swear that I am up to no good'0 -
