So who’s writing ???

My name is Susan Crowe and I have been an avid knitter and general fiddler with crochet, embroidery and crafts and since childhood - thanks to the influence of my big sister Carol and my Mum.

This is me - slightly younger than I am now…

From Picture of me

According to my knitting pals, I’m a prolific knitter - I intend to keep you updated with my triumphs, experiments and often quite disastrous results …(I still twitch when felting is mentioned but I’ll get to that…)

I have a huge stash that I’m constantly trying (and failing) to reduce. I also have a bad habit of knitting the thing from the cover of a pattern book.

I’m a Rowan International member but not an exclusive Rowan knitter.

I’m also a member of a local knitting circle “The Knaughty Knitters“.

Edit 9/5/2007 This week we shall mostly be calling ourselves “The Guilty Knitters”!!

We meet in our local Starbucks at least twice a month on a Sunday morning - Drink coffee, eat cakes, knit, swap knitting books and fix each other’s knitting! This little group of seven ladies has often been all that has stood between me and insanity due to the rigours of everyday life.

Go Girls!!

I have two beloved cats I need to introduce you to.I do not apologise for loving them dearly - they will be mentioned often.

This is Thug, my 15 year old blind ginger tomcat( hence the permanently dilated pupils). Blind because of a brain tumour but OK now (after an obscene amount of money was spent on radiotherapy but worth ever penny!) He is brave, cuddly, very greedy and pretty much acts like a dog.

And this is Thug’s sister Mewsley from the same litter. She is scared of loud noises and likes to hide under the bed but very affectionate once she knows you. Mewsley is a “Lady” and will sulk if you forget it!
