Introduction of myself!

[Diana Lovatt]

Hi all!
I'm new here and I thought I should introduce myself.
My name is Diana, aged 47 and Swedish. My aunt taught me to crochet when I was a teenager, my mum taught me embroidery and knitting, but knitting is something I still can't get the hang of properly, but one day I hope I will beat it.
At the moment I'm learning to do Hardanger, a fantastic art I think.
If you want to know more then just ask.
Hugs!
/Diana

Welcome ! Hi nice to meet you. I'm a hand embroiderer named DebraAnn! My grandmother taught me all the needleworks too but only recently gravitated towards embroidery more.

[Diana Lovatt]

Hi DebraAnn, I'm a hand embroiderer me too and now I'm really into learning Hardanger, something my mum started to teach me back in 1985 but now because of her illnes, she can't help me no more.
