I posted once on here somewhere, but I'm not very good with computers so I don't know where it went! My grandmother taught me the basics when I was 8 and little more til I was bout 15. I started on my own learning more when I was 20. I finished scarves that she started me on and small blankets all in different stitches. I have made many different things that I learned myself from reviewing what my grandma taught me. I usually give what I make as gifts, baby blankets, hats, stuffed apples or toys to my kids teachers or friends who just had a baby. I can't get out much cuz of back problems that started when I was 21 after my first son was born. Crocheting relaxes me, my husband will wake me up and ask what I am makin in my sleep! Thanks for the help and patterns I will start on those today!
