Some introductions

Me first. I'm Kate. I'm a retired teacher and the resident know-all in our local yarn shop. I learned to knit and crochet as a small child, and although I've tried other crafts along the way, currently I'm a crochet-holic.

Bournville is a suburb of Birmingham, and it's special. The trees are important; there are lots of green spaces, and even a bluebell wood. Adjacent to the village green is a row of shops ...

 ...One of which is Christine's.  This is our local yarn shop, established 40 years ago and still growing.

You'll meet some of my friends there, but for now let's consider the photo. It's a blocking board with quite a lot of daffodils. Some are made from the pattern of Lucy, of Attic 24, and some are my own pattern.

The daffodil is the emblem of the Marie Curie fund, and we at Christine's are preparing for a fund-raising tea party on June 8th. You'll have to visit again to see what I am going to do with these daffs ...
