:welcome

Your yarn trade made me think of one of our awesome moderators, @TwoCrows . She's a whiz at crocheting and also a great resource for all things chicken or quail. You might find others interested in your craft over here on this forum (although, I understand this is more than a hobby for you): hobbies.41

Thanks for joining us, make yourself at home!
