Hi! I'm new to Crochet Talk, but not to crocheting. I've been doing that for 45 years. A friend taught me during our lunch hours at work. My favorite things to crochet are afghans. I also learned to knit about two years ago and am nuts about doing lace shawls. Really like the challenge of doing lace. Right now I'm trying to decide on projects for the Ravelympics - belong to Team Texas Yarnivore. Anyone else participating in that?
