Hi Patti, I am from NH also and read every one of the things that people post. Have got some great knitting patterns from different sites. Sites that I have never visited. Loads of wonderful people here. Everyone is very helpful also. Have not needed any advice yet but I know the day is coming. Right now I am working on scarfs, a vest for myself and a sweater for some little girl that I have not met yet. Just decided to do the sweater and find someone to give it to. I am having trouble with the sleeves but have not figured out how to explain what problem I am having so have not aske for help yet. Welcome aboard. Noreene
