Hello, I've just joined the forum today. I am 47 and live with my husband and three grown up children (one is away at Uni most of the time). I dont work at the moment and dont miss it at all! I have recently learnt to crochet and and revived my knitting skills not used since I was at school!
I do crochet as well as knitting. It makes a change and as I don't like knitting with chunky wool but am happy to crochet thick yarn it comes in useful.
