Hi, I'm new here, and as you can see, I go by the screen name of Karen,
> Queen of Squishies. First let me explain that odd title, and then I have a
> question I really need your help with.
>
> Queen of Squishies - a squishy is an envelope containing fabric or yarn and
> it squishes when you squeeze it. These are sent to friends who share your
> hobby, for birthday, Christmas, new baby, cheer up, get well soon, or no
> reason at all! I dubbed myself the queen of this realm because I have sent
> out so many of them in my ng history. I have been a member of a quilting ng
> for about 8 years or so now.

> I have been an avid crocheter since the age of 12, and no, we're not going
> into how long ago THAT was! LOL! I have taken up quilting in recent years,
> but have never lost my love of crocheting. Last week I got the urge again,
> and started a crib blanket using a lovely Denys Brunton yard called
> Magicolour. I only have one spool of it, 340g. I really love this yarn and
> want to make the baby a sweater trimmed in it, to match the little afghan.
> I have searched and searched online and have come up with less than nothing
> by way of a place to buy more of this!
>
> There must be SOME place in this wide world for me to buy more Denys Brunton
> Magicolour yarn! Help, help, help?? I didn't buy this one, it was given to

Welcome, Karen! I've been crocheting since the age of 6, although my mother now insists that I was FOUR. (she claims I crocheted and knitted for my gramma, who died when I was six, so 'maybe' she's right.... ) Anyway, I wanted to welcome you to the group! I knit more than I crochet, now. I also spin, tat and work bobbinlace (aka pillow-lace) I live in middle Tennessee, USA.... we're quite a diversified group, with men and women from all over our shared planet. Hugs, Noreen
