Thanks for coming, make yourself comfortable. This is a new blog for dispensing wisdom/personal opinions (lots of personal opinions) to see if I can help you and make a little difference in a chaotic, bonkers, brilliant world. Since Old Mum can write reams on just about anything, I thought it would be fun to ask my subscribers for topics they would like my help with.
So have a look around at what I’ve written already and hit follow – then you can ask for help directly. If it’s right for the site, I’ll write a post on it.
If you’re struggling, go straight to All Coping Posts. The other stuff isn’t so important but covers dogs, children, living without a car and being a smug Mean Green. In a nutshell. (You could ask for advice on knitting but I really wouldn’t advise it).

One of the very worst moments, the very worst, was when we found the new puppy had laid a fresh wet poo in the chewed remains of a treasured crocheted glove. Which a friend had made for…

Don’t get your knickers in a stitch!
There are not many things worse than labouring long into the night over a complicated new pattern and realising it will never work. For whatever reason: 1: You missed out an entire section and it has no…
