I crochet, reasonably competently, but am left handed. I’m not sure if I’m volunteering as I also have ME/CFS and can’t guarantee energy levels from one day to the next.

Tamsin, I'm happy to add you to the list if you'd like, then you can do whatever works for you, no obligation. Just let me know if that's alright.

Thanks Lisa for offering to add me to the list, I feel that I won't be able to give the time to your project that it would need, but I will watch with interest as you develop your ideas.

I can commit to testing spirals. I am a competent crocheter but usually work from charts, but since this is Freeform, which I feel more relaxed working, I could work with written instructions

I am really fascinated by the spirals. I loved watching your 100 day project come to life.

I'd be interested in trying it.

Could you send me an email at lisadohertyfreeformanddesign@gmail.com? Substack isn't giving me an email address for you.

Yarny ones, I'm filled with appreciation for all who have offered to test the spiral pattern. The group is large, so I'm going to call off the search now. Thanks so much!

I played the mandolin for a few years before my arthritis made it too painful. I loved it! Now I play a mountain dulcimer-it is much easier on my hands and also has a beautiful and unique sound.

I've always thought it would be fun to play dulcimer.

I'm enjoying your updates, it's lovely to watch your project grow. I tried a wonky spiral a while back, inspired by you. Its now a favourite cushion, used up all my natural dye samples, mainly onion skin variations.
