Busy fingers

Hi all,
I have been purchasing from DKY for some time now, but have only just joined the forum. I have been knitting and crocheting for many many years. My mum and nan taught me to knit and I learned to crochet in the queue at the benefit office as a child in the 60s learning from a lady who used to sit next to my mum. Being left handed I used to sit opposite them and mirror what they did.
I love knitting but don't get to do it often as my husband finds the clacking of the needles irritating - shame, but it means that crochet is what I do most evenings when watching the TV.
I like to reproduce antique or vintage pieces particularly in fine threads, although there is very little use for them nowadays. Most clothing crochet patterns are generally too dated, but I am always on the lookout for practical and stylish items.
