Just decided that it would be fun to give blogging a try. I enjoy reading other people's blogs and hope that mine may someday be worth reading. As the title of my blog implies, I am an avid crocheter. For some reason the simple act of hooking yarn relaxes me. It gives me such a feeling of accomplishment when I complete a lovely piece of fabric that someone can enjoy for many years to come. My mother taught me to crochet when I was just a child. She instilled in me a love and appreciation of handmade items. Whenever an occasion to give a gift arises, I try to think of an appropriate item that I can make for the person. This has given me an opportunity to challenge myself to try many different patterns. I love experimenting with various yarns, stitches, and colors of yarn.
Since retiring two and a half years ago I have spent a lot of time exploring the internet for patterns and inspiration. I had no idea that there was so much out there. Ravelry.com is such an unbelievable resource to me. If you are a crochetholic like myself do yourself a favor and visit them.
Here is a photo of a blanket and puppy hat/diaper cover set I recently made for my brand new grandson. I hope they eventually arrive; I put them in the mail the week after Easter but so far they have not made it to my daughter yet. I will be heartbroken if they never arrive.
Well, I am off to see if I can find the post office form that might have a tracking number on it so my daughter can try to locate the box. Wish us luck!
