Hi Amanda!
I am so happy to have found your blog! I live in Hobart, Tasmania and have been looking for people around here that love knitting (crocheting and sewing) like me. Do you know of any groups that meet up for a knit and a chat?
Thanks for a good read and inspiration.
Hanna
Hi Hanna, thanks for your comment! I love knitting (but I am a useless crocheter and seamstress).
Hi there Amanda…
I wondered how old you were! Thought you would be close to my age…I am 28 (born 78)….
Really hope you come to a knitting group one day. I am sure you would get along with us really well (and wonder why you didnt come sooner).
Katt
Hi, Amanda! Thanks for visiting my blog. You live in a GORGEOUS part of the world. I visited Tasmania all too briefly in 2003 and would love to come back one day and explore some more. And I share your desire to make a living from knitting. That would be heavenly!
Hi Amanda,
i like very much your blog.
Regards,
Lily
