Hello and Happy New Year
Hello...my name is Caryn and I live in Florida. I am originally from Long Island. I am married and have grown children. My cronilogical age is 60, but I think I will remain 29 forever. I have been crocheting and knitting since I was very young. My grandmother taught me to crochet so many years ago.
At the moment I am crocheting a wave afgan for my daughter and son-in-law for their new home.
I made quite a few items for gifts the past few months. Mostly, hats and scarves.
My next project will be to crochet socks.

Welcome Carynjoyb!
I am also 60 but feel more like 49, lol, don't want to be 29 again although 39 might do, ha!
I also want to crochet socks but wonder if I should knit them instead. I guess you get a decent sock using either method.

Socks and 29
Hi Patti,
I am currently making socks using 4 double point needles. 3 with stitches on and 1 to knit them off. I have about a 4 inch length so far. I will complete at least the one, but I think that crochet would be a lot faster, and just as nice. I just need to find the right pattern.
I also wouldn't want to be 29 again, but don't really want to feel much older than that. BUT alas, that good old Arhur Itis stops buy to say hello every day. LOL

I tried to upload some photos of some of my items that are in a folder from my computer, but I can not figure out how to do it.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Caryn Joy
