Semi retired and looking forward to trying some different (slightly more difficult) crochet projects. Have been crocheting for some time but always very simple projects. Now that I have more free time I would like ( to learn and take on some bigger projects. Am from Florida now but was raised in the North so have lots of family and friends to send stuff to.

No classes available here so have been spending some time on YouTube. It is actually (I was very surprised) very good. Have learned a bunch.

Hats and Headbands are my staples right now, although they are rather plain (simple, one color). I would like to start working with more color and also learn more about what types of yarns to use with what.

I know all the basic stiches and am pretty consistant but I always seem to have problems with understanding patterns (again, YT helps). So I have not ventured past my comfort zone. However, with the advent of all the information attainable (like this web site) on the internet and more free time, I think I am ready.

Hobbies: Crochet, Home DIY, Reading (5 dogs)...
