Hi; My name is Liz, and I am new to this forum. I am a beginner knitter so to speak. I am sick of doing the scarf thing (although I do love them) - and have graduated on to try a baby afghan for my first grandchild, which brought me here! I am not sure about the instructions so I thought I would need a place to come if I got stuck!

Welcome to Knitting Help!
I moved your post to be by itself. Only post in someone elses thread if you have something to add to the topic. Otherwise your question, or introduction in this case, can be overlooked. 
We have a “How-to Questions” forum if you need help with a pattern. If you need help finding a pattern then the place to post is “Pattern Central.” 
Welcome to KH! I’m sure you’ll find all of the help here you could possibly want.
Welcome to KH! It’s a wonderful place to find answers to all your questions. Looking forward to seeing you around here!
Welcome
this is a very friendly place where I have already been given lots of help and support. I love to read the answers to other people’s questions and try and store up the knowledge in case I ever need to know.
