Hi! My name is Kathy Divis and I want to share my thoughts about crochet!

[Kathy Divis]

I have crocheted since I was about 10 years old. I know the basics...but I would like to broaden my skills and try new things. I also want to keep up with new ideas. I have Alzeimers now....which gives me the determination to push my brain out into new horizons. My doctor told me the more I use my brain in new ways the better my brain will stay healthy. The goal is to stop the progression.....and they have found that working with your hands, reading, following directions and using your brain can help it continue to function! I love giving myself a brain workout with crocheting!!

Good morning Kathy...welcome to CT...

Welcome to the forum, Kathy. You already know it---crochet keeps you thinking, keeps your hands crocheting or ripping out, and you start all over again, and again, and again sometimes until you get it right. May God bless you and keep you strong.
