    Hi, I'm a new member. I discovered this site while i was looking for instructions for chainless crochet, and got side-tracked. I started crocheting when I was about 10 years old and have been at it, off and on, ever since. I'm just returning (again) and already have 4 on-going projects. Christmas is looming on the horizon, and I've got so many ideas for gifts.

    I've just discovered amigurumi (crocheted stuffed animals, and love working on them. They're so cute and there are so many great designs available. I just made the cutest pig (named Piggy Pie) for my best friend for her 81st birthday. It turned out so adorable that I almost kept it for myself. The Amigurumi are easy to do - worked in rounds, usually in single crochet. To start I purchased a pattern book at my local craft store, but there are lots of patterns on line as well.

    They make terrific gifts for children or adults.

    Hello teapot1640,

    It is nice to meet you! We also have another new member today from Virginia that joined the group! Wow!

    It is amazing that you began to crochet at age 10! My daughter is nine and I am thinking about teaching her sometime soon!

    Glad to have you teapot!

    I intend to try the crocheted stuffed animals (that I learned about on this forum) after I get all of my hats crocheted for Christmas. I've been making hats for every one on both sides of our family. My two grandchildren have birthdays in December and January so I really want to try to get to that, soon.

    You are really a busy girl, I wish I had more time for crochet, but right now there are other things that take priority. Like working, supposed to be retired. Don't know how I ever kept house and raised 2 children and had a full time job....I must be slowing down. Misty
