Hi Everyone,

I've been a crocheter for about 40 years. Saw a co-worker doing it and she let me copy her stitch instructions from the pattern she was working on and the rest is history. I kind of taught myself from those instructions. The first thing I made was a ripple afghan. I've made many since. One of my favorite things in crochet is working with cotton thread.

I am married and we are coming up on our 39th anniversary on Saturday the 26th. We have four sons. One has left the nest but the rest are still with us. I love having them here.

I enjoy other crafts as well as crochet, among which are knitting, cross stitch, cake decorating and jewelry making.

I'm looking forward to hearing from other members of the group.
