@thepoliticalcat Thank you! You will find kinder people here - I have. I only learned to crochet on a holiday to Skye in October 2022 - with all that lovely wool, it would have been rude not to. I find freeform suits my mind - I don't do well with patterns. There's no right or wrong! Sure, there are basic rules but once you've got them, it's painting with yarn!
