Hello

[featherfarm]

Just joined the site and am looking forward to talking with everyone. I started crocheting in the 70's but gave it up when work, home, and family became too much. Now that I'm at home, I started again about 3 years ago and haven't slowed down. Always have more projects that are waiting to be done. Love it!

Hi! And welcome! You think you have projects on your to do list now, you will add tons more from this site! My mile long list went to a 3 mile long list after I joined this forum! What type of projects do you like to do? Glad you decided to join us!

[featherfarm]

Just what I need, more projects! lol I love doing shawls, especially lace or vintage shawls. I also love to experiment with different yarns and hooks to make patterns my own. What do you like to do?

Hello,

Hi featherfarm! I like to make things for kids! I have 5 grandchildren that I make things for. And I make dolls, toys and games for children and sell them at Craft Fairs! I love shawls! I made myself one awhile ago and I'm looking for another pattern that I like!

Just finished Midsummer Night shawl from the cover of Interweave Crochet summer '10. I used reclaimed cashmere lace and went with a larger hook and it turned out great! Love making lace patterns. Would love to see some of your toys for boys. Have 2 grandsons.

I have crochet cars for smaller boys. One thing that has sold well to older boys is a small crocheted bag that has marbles in it-and I include how to play marbles. I'm trying a round bag that folds out to a play area that will include small animals or maybe Cowboys and Indians-haven't decided yet! I'll post pictures as soon as I have time!
