Would like to talk to someone with dwarfism

My name is Val, I live in Essex between Colchester and Chelmsford. I have the most common form of dwarfism, achondroplasia, and will be pleased to speak to anyone with the same condition, but also anyone else. I do enjoy knitting, but at present having shoulder problems as well as spinal pain, which does come with the condition at times. Live with my husband Geoff he is of average stature. We have two sons who both have my condition. They have their own homes, but not with anyone or have any children sadly. Would love to be a "nanna".xx

I hope you enjoy your time with us and find the forum to be helpful. There are some lovely people on here and all very supportive. I look forward to seeing you on here anyway. If there is anything you need help or support with then please just let us know. All the best.
I knit mainly baby clothes for the local baby unit, and twiddle muffs for the dementia home in our town. I am a bit of a wool aholic, and ended up with loads of it, so now I am getting older trying to shred some of my load, as not finding knitting easy at the moment. What other groups are you in on here. Where abouts do you live if you dont mind me asking.? Not sure if I told you I am in Essex a small town between Chelmsford and Colchester, those two towns are quite well known, where ours is not so well known. So what is holding you up with your knitting.? Do you live at home with family, or married ? Take care and keep safe. xxx

Lovely to hear from you. How strange, I would love to crochet but like you with knitting cannot get the hang of it. Can I ask what part of the country you are. Wondered if not too far, perhaps when this is over perhaps we could meet up. Do you mind me asking do you have a disability, or just joined this group to chat to anyone? Take care and keep save. Valx
