Hello Vonnie, welcome to Gransnet, I don't get on here as much as I would like because I work fulltime etc but all the gransnetters have been very informative and helpful when I have had problems to share.
I am just embarking on knitting a shawl....a very basic pattern, so might be calling on your expertise when I get stuck lol. I used to knit for my boys when they were little, (again very basic stuff) I had my Mum then to put me right, but hardly do any now Like Annika said, they seem to dress differently know, and when I suggested I knit a little jacket for my recently born GS my DIL said she didn't like knitted things!
