Here are 5 of the 6 chicks that I made for the grandkids. I used Ruby’s pattern.

Hello everyone, first of all I have to apologize because I’m not sure if I put this post in the right place. I couldn’t find any other introductions so far. So I hope this is ok. My background might be a little different than yours, so I want to tell you a little bit about myself: I’m 52 years old and I’m from Germany (so please excuse my not so fluent expressions sometimes… My English is pretty good, though. So there shouldn’t be any issues coming up). What’s making my situation a little different is that I have severe Cerebral Palsy, I’m sitting in an automatic wheelchair and can only use my left hand to do things. I do have caregivers around 24/7. 2018 I discovered that I can do loom knitting by myself after building some constructions to put the loom on. A few years later my lovely partner Marco (you will hear more from him very soon) bought me the king size Addi. We had to realize pretty quickly that there’s no way for me to use it on my own. So Marco and I decided to addi together. We are still very much at the beginning of our addi journey. Only thing we did so far was this:

Hi, I am new here and not sure how to navigate. I bought my first 22 pin childrens Singer machine on clearance at Walmart for $19.00 in early 2000's... I didnt even open it until 2023! My Father in law bought me the King size Addi for Christmas 2023 and boy did I love it. He did too! My husband bought me the smaller Addi for our Anniversary, then I bought the Mushroom. My husband then bought both Sentro machines! He said its like his garage when he needs tools to work on cars I needs machines for production! The plan was Pappa was going to sell plants and I was going sell knitting. Unfortunately his health failed and we had several Dr visits and hospital stays. We never made it to shows. He went Home last month, he and Mom are together again dancing in eternity. So Im looking forward to crafting again and Im sure he will be cheering me on from the otherside! He also was a crafter and crocheted, did chair caninning, woodworking and plant growing! Im looking forward to learning and maybe helping others too...
