First of all, thanks to Elaine and Christine for leaving your comments on my page. I am still finding my way around this forum so thought I would leave a reply here.
I am a 38yr old mum of a 1yr old living in the North West of England. I was an account manager for 10 yrs up until last year, when I left to have my daughter and am now a stay-at-home mum.
I recently taught myself to crochet and was surprised at how easy it was to do granny squares. This website was recently mentioned in a crochet magazine, so I thought I would take a look and now I'm itching to start contributing! I have only looked at this website briefly as my daughter takes up a lot of my time, (especially now she is becoming a little toddler!), but once she's had a bath and gone to bed I can have a proper look!
Am really looking forward to helping with this and getting these squares done, and also getting to know you ladies (and gents?)

Thankyou! Am really enjoying the experience so far and it's such a friendly website / forum x
Yes, everytime I sit down to start my first square, I keep spotting something interesting to read on here, and then that article points me to something else to read, and then before I know it I've missed my crochet window (because daughter has woken from nap, or it's her lunch/ snack time etc!)
(And yes, we do have one or two gents.)
Am I right in thinking you don't want "holey" squares. Mine have holes in them as part of the pattern, but whilst pretty, probably not that practical for keeping the children warm? I'll have a look at the crochet pattern section anyway x

I'm just amazed every time I come across someone like Rachel saying it was easy - not my experience. But yes, there are some seriously talented ladies (and men) on this site
Hugs, Jeanne :)
