While I was growing up, my Mom would crochet potholders and afghans. I remember trying to learn, but not being very successful. I could take it or leave it back then. About two years ago something sparked in me and I wanted to give it another try. I started crocheting by learning from a book. Then, I wanted to learn to knit. So, I picked up another "how to" book, and with the help of a great website, www.knittinghelp.com, I went nuts! I absolutely love it. I love to knit and crochet scarves, hats, sweaters, booties, blankets, toys, purses, and socks (though I haven't quite mastered socks yet). These are some of the projects I have finished. I am constantly downloading free patterns and stocking up on yarn. I drive Michael crazy with my pile of 'in progress' projects next to my recliner. Hopefully someday I'll have little ones of my own to knit for!!
