You know me from Crochetville. This looks to be a wonderful site that'll take me
further away from things I'm *supposed* to do like housework!
My real name is Ellen and I live just southwest of Denver, Colorado. I've been out here for nearly 30 years; I was born in the Bronx, New York.
I'm called Birdlady because I'm owned by 28 parrots and ringneck doves. I took up crocheting again about two years ago after a 30- or 40-year hiatus so I consider myself an advanced beginner (whatever that means!) However, I learned from Katchkan that I crochet backwards. (I insert the hook from the back instead of the front and I crochet from left to right.)
Since I am a beginner, I am always looking for new patterns and stitches so I can gradually improve my skills
This is "gonna" be fun!
