Saying Hello

[BettyK]

Hi Everyone, my name is Betty, I live in Long Island New York and I have been crocheting since I was a little girl. My favorite things to make are afghans, baby blankets, hats, scarfs and ball gowns for Barbie style dolls. Recently I have found a new interest in looming. I have gone a little crazy buying looms in all different sizes. Some are round, some rectangular and instruction books. I also go to YouTube and watch looming videos. I am a mom to 4 grown kids and a grandma to 7. Most of everything I make goes to the grandkids. I am also an avid reader and usually have a few books in progress all the time.
