Stitch 'n' bitch...

My names Doll and I'm a crochet junkie... I kept that one quiet didn't I!?! 

hey... I know I'm also a nail varnish junkie but BOTH keep my paws away from crisps OK!

I have been doing crochet since I was about 6 or 7... every teddy bear had a jumper and/or handbag... several ties were made for special occasions... and it's something I've done consistently all my life.. I can't knit for toffee, two needles and I'm all tangled up... I was kicked out of sewing class and sent to art class.... so its always been my little outlet... and years of insomnia have meant I can do some patterns in the dark!

 

I am a regular at some of the christmas markets in town... very fancy schmancy hats... tea cosies for the mammies ... and in some coffee shops, you'll spot my 'Java Jackets'... 

Recently I 'hooked up' geddit?!? sigh... with a group of like minded boys and girls who knit and crochet for a few hours together on a Sunday afternoon... There's no official title on the group most of these are called 'Stitch 'n' Bitch' or 'Pints & Pearls' ...

Some of these people are SO skilled... and the things they are creating are AMAZING... beautiful children's clothes... custom made clothes for themselves... truly talented... I sit in awe as the needles clickety clack away whilst they sup a bevvie! 

Not bad for a Sunday afternoons work eh? Not one drink passed my lips either.. I swear!
