Overview: Groups

Madly off in all Directions 51 books / 3 members / 1560 posts After jumping from one Profile to another, losing the thread of the yarns being spun, I thought we should have a group. Just a small one. I'll feed, it and walk it, and everything. And make you both Administrators, as soon as I figure out how to do that!
This group is for conversations about books, authors, knitting, ideas, jokes (especially those that Victoria D. is forever apologizing about), the vicarious lives of Laura the aviatrix, Michael the knitter, and Victoria the Chess master. Feel free to invite compatible people. And Dogs.
