Hello from a newbie.

Welcome Vonnie - Not many of us about at this late hour to say hello, seems to be more early birds than night owls.

Hi, vonnie, and welcome! Good to have an expert knitter among us; there are often things we need help with.

Good morning and welcome, Vonnie.

Good morning Vonnie and welcome from an almost newcomer.

Hi Vonnie

Welcome Vonnie, I've not been around that long myself and am still 'checking things out' but come on in, the water's fine . Maybe a 'hi I'm here' thread would be a good idea.

Welcome Vonnie. I'm a knitter too so would be interested in your forum.

Morning Vonnie, welcome to our gang!

Hi vonnie

Hello. I knitted once until I lost the thread - not an uncommon occurrence now . If I remember, I knitted a small, square tea pot stand under strict supervision from my Mum when I was little. My Nan made rag rugs in those days. I like idea of baking but, in practice, I like cake eating more.

Hi Vonnie and welcome , I'm a knitter but only basic stuff , never could get my head round complicated patterns... a plain school cardy I can manage .

Hello Vonnie - nice to meet you!

Welcome from me too. I started knitting when I had measles at the age of 5. Loved seeing it grow under my fingers, but cannot fathom crochet. Hope you enjoy our company!

Welcome - I knit and crochet too - but pain in hands ensues if I overdo it!

Hi Vonnie and welcome. I only joined this year too. I used to teach knitting at night school but have taken an enforced break as I have tennis elbow caused by knitting with some dreadful thread provided by someone who doesn't knit. It was like knitting with string - no give at all. I got her to replace it with something more sensible but by then it was too late and I wanted to finish it in time for her to take to a grandchild so didn't rest it. I'm paying for it now.

My DS2 and his wife are holidaying in Cornwall at the moment. He is showing her his childhood haunts before they go home to Holland on Sunday. She loves it.

Hello Vonnie good to meet you! I can technically knit plain stitch but have never made anything but I do crochet ... though find it hard to find new patterns!

Hope you enjoy the forum.

Hi vonnie I have no talents at all but still enjoy gransnet

I'm sure you do kitty you just hide your light

Welcome Vonnie I am newish myself and have really enjoyed being part of GN. Some interesting ,challenging and downright hilarious posts mean that no matter how life is treating you there is something for everyone. I can knit but my kids used to dread me knitting anything for them and plead for shop bought knitwear !

Welcome Vonnie. As Grannybug says, there is something for everyone on here. Warm, compassionate people with individual opinions and an interest in yours

Hello Vonnie,great to have another Westcountry member!

Hello and welcome Vonnie there are lots of topics to comment on I am sure you will find many that will intrest you.
I used to knit for my children when they were little but I have to admit I have not knitted one single thing for my three grandchildren, why I do not know perhaps its because they are dressed differently now to how I used to dress them all those years ago. What do I mean all those years ago Im only 57

Hi Vonnie ~ hope you enjoy GN.
I only knit squares, during the winter months. I don't think there's much hope for me as a knitter.

Wellcome Vonnie.
Ive done knitting,crochet,tatting etc most of my life.-taught my only GD to knit.I've run out of projects just now but have discovered 'Freeform Knitting and Crochet' online. So lots more fun ahead.
