Hi I'm Suzanne and live in the UK.  I'm 33 and blind except for minimal 
light perception and have become a keen crafter over the last 3 years or so.

I am mostly self tought except for the occasional help of my dad who watched 
youtube videos in my early knitting days and explained them to me.

Since then I have learned to crochet, weave, loom knit, sew, and have just 
started dabbling into jewelry making.

My current projects are a knitted dragon toy for my niece, a bracelet made 
by knitting 28 gauge silver plated wire with pre strung beads in it, and a 
baby quilt. With the quilt I have only hand sewn the patchwork squares 
together so far into strips, then I am going to machine sew the strips 
together although this is a bit scary as I've never machine sewn before!! 
Then I need to figure out the rest of the quilting process  as I go! My 
husband and I are both hoping to enrol in a one day leather working workshop 
at the local art college at the end of October.

I have been looking through the list of archived classes and they look 
great, would love to try some by email some time. The ones I'd be most 
interested in are basket weaving (which I've never done), any jewelry ones, 
any safety pin beading ones although I have no idea what this is! And any 
sewing or quilting ones.

Best wishes.
Suzanne.
