Hello, I thought I'd introduce myself properly

My name is Gemma, I am 24 years old, mummy to a beautiful son and my gorgeous baby girl! I am also married to Shaun (who funds my expensive hobby

) We live in Leeds, UK

I haven't been crochetting for long, think since maybe August last year when a woman on another forum started selling afghans, I was going to buy one and I thought 'no I'm going to make one, how hard can it be?!' Answer was it was pretty easier but oh my gosh how addictive is it lol?! I now own more yarn than a small shop, around a dozen books, I have 3 binders FULL of patterns either bought or printed

a variety of different size hooks, bamboo, steel etc

and I am always planning my next buy

I love making things for my baby, haven't made anything for my little boy yet, I aren't fast enough and I get bored easily. Oh I lie I did make him a guinea pig which I got confused with the conversion stitches thing, it was way back in the beginning and it looked like something rude with legs, unfortunately my son loves it and won't let me throw it in the bin

At the moment I am making a cardigan I have roughly based on a pattern someone posted on here, I've changed parts of it though to make it unique, I'm making it for Mailie for my son's birthday meal!
Thats enough from me for now lol! xxx
