[NFB-Blind-Crafters] I'm back

[hosbornejr at gmail.com]

Hi Bernice and Tracy, and, I as well as I am of Irish Heritage as well as of
English heritage. My Maternal Grandfather was from the fishing village of
Penzance, Cornwall which is at the Southern most tip of England.

Grandfather learned to knit and to crochet from watching the fishermen as
they mended their nets or talked about what they were knitting on to pass
the time while out to sea and not busy hauling in the nets of fish or to
tending to every day tasks on the fishing boats.

I also learned from watching my Maternal Aunts as they knitted or Crocheted
many beautiful Irish items of sweaters or scarves.

My apologies for rambling on about some of my heritage, but, I have just
inspired myself to try to find Irishman Fisherman, English and Scottish
patterns of whatever I can find that is out there.

Would anyone care to join or to help me?

Has this group (either as the new NFB-Blind-Crafters group or the old
Krafters Korner group ever done a Knit or Crochet Along?)

I would have loved to talk with the Irish people about the fisherman kknits.
They are my favorite patterns for afghans.

I'm back.  Thanks ReNae for watching the list while I was away.  I see it
was very quiet. 

I'm pretty tired today, but tomorrow I'll tell the group about the
craft-related things I saw in Ireland.
