Hello from north London!

Hi everyone!
I'm stringtheory, an avid textile enthusiast in north London. I do or have done most of the textile crafts at some point but most consistently do sewing and knitting. At home all year with my spouse and my cat, I am pretty sure I made more garments in 2020 than all the previous years put together (so so many masks and scrubs and then when I discovered knitting during zoom meetings keeps me soothed and able to focus, everyone got something hand knitted for Christmas).
It's been great to make so much stuff but I've been lonely for people to chat to about it, so here I am! Looking forward to getting to know you all

Hello and welcome
@stringtheory
from me, too
Feel free to chat - I suspect most of us do more chatting than sewing around here

A big welcome from me too! Sewing, knitting and other hand crafts have been a godsend this year, but we do love to hear about, and see, what everyone else is doing!
Look forward to seeing some of your projects!

Jessie, who is very happy to be here!!
, but who has far too many sewing machines to be healthy, and a fabric stash which is becoming embarrassing.
