Hello to my fellow "hookers!"
My name is Sue. I've been crocheting since my wonderful Mom taught me when I was around 8 years old. That's 57 years ago! I love to crochet and have given away more baby and full-sized afghans than I can count. I usually ask the recipient for a picture with the ghan and have a book full of wonderful pictures. I volunteer for a group called "Precious Pals" which is a number of folks who make lap blankets for a local hospice. It is such fulfilling work, even though I never know who receives the blanket nor do they know who made it for them. I have recently completed two entries for our County Fair; an afghan and a Christmas table runner in filet crochet featuring Santa, his sleigh and eight reindeer.
Too many crochet projects, not enough time.

Hi Sue: I like the Precious Pals! I make baby blankets and full afghans for Project Linus. Many of the ladies in Project Linus groups make quilts and I love to see all the different ones they make. I am stuck on baby blankets. I am 65 and have four grandchildren. Welcome to CT. We are a fun group of gals and if you have any questions just ask! Shirley

Thanks for the welcome. And, yes they are! I wish she lived closer so I could see her more often. Unfortunately, she lives a couple of hours away.

Welcome frm down under! Its great that so many of us are like minded in that we crochet for charity. As a matter of interest, what size do you make your lapghans? I think mine maybe on the large size.
