Hi Ninn,

I am so glad you found my article and it led you to all of us at Krafters 
Korner!  You fit in just perfect with us too.  Feel free to either e-mail me

on the list or off to chat or if you want to talk knitting or crafting. 
Crafting keeps me sane, so I keep several projects of different kinds going.

Take care,
Susan
