    Red face Hello from Texas

    Hi, I am a 68-year old retired lady from Texas who stays home most of the time now and enjoys crocheting and being on the computer. I am a native Texan and I have siblings living near me which is nice. I am married to Kenneth, (we will celebrate our 36th anniversary in April), have no children, but lots of cats and dogs and nieces and nephews. I like to crochet things for my family for Christmas and this year I am doing some nice crochet boxes which I will fill with miscellaneous things for each member of my family. I make lots of hats and scarves, shawls, afghans, and sometimes toys.

    Hi Aunt Sally!

    Welcome! I'm Patti from Arkansas--right next door. I'm making hats this year for Christmas as I've talked about all over this forum, lol!

    Would be interested in see a picture of your crochet box--is that a crochet covered box or a box made of crochet?

    Also, since you are such an experienced crocheter you might be able to identify the mystery stitch in the link posted on Poppy 's introduction link asking for help identifying the pattern for an afghan she is trying to knit.

    She has the yarn but not the pattern and the baby is due in February!

    Red face Hi Patti:


    Hi and thanks for the note. I made lots of hats last year for Christmas. Hats and scarves. I am making a few hats for a friend this year as she wants to give them as gifts I think. The boxes I am making are actually all crochet. They are open, square, and the top edge folds down a couple of rows. If I can get a picture taken (my digital camera is on the blink) I will post it. I will be putting things in them as gifts- spices, drink mixes, stuff like that (gifts in a jar kind of things). I will look at the other post you asked about to see if I know what she is asking. Nice to hear from you. I get myself so stretched out on this darn computer that I don't check this site every day. I am into too many other things on here - I do surveys, write and read lots of email and play some relaxing games, pay bills etc. But I will try to stay up with this site. Good luck with your hats.

    Hi Barb, drice and gifted child.

    Thanks for the welcomes and kind words. I may not see or reply right away because I get too spread out on the computer and am into too many things at the same time. (One of my big faults) But I will get to it, don't worry. I still haven't been able to take pictures of my boxes yet, but will hopefully within the week so I can put one on here. I think they turned out great and will make good gift boxes in the style of a gift basket. Will see. I have about 20-25 hats to make before the holidays also so I will be pretty busy. It's something I enjoy doing and makes watching tv (my husband is a movie watcher and doesn't like to watch alone!) easier because I don't like to just sit- I have to be doing something.

    Bye for now,
    Gloria
