I have been crocheting off and on for a lot of years. I have just started back and I am realizing just how much enjoyment I missed out on. Right now I am making scarves for vets. But I also enjoy making shawls and afghans.

Hello,
It is so nice to meet you! What a great idea to make scarves for vets! Do you do this helping a specific organization?
Hi Barbara,
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
I got involved making scarves because I stumbled across a web sight while I was searching for patterns and yarn. I send the scarves to a group associated with the WWII Museum in New Orleans. The group then disperses the scarves to VA groups around the country who in turn give them to the homeless vets in their area.
What type of things do you enjoy making? Do you have any special projects that you do to use up your left over yarn? I use mine to make mats for the animals at our local shelter. I usually end up with these small amounts of yarn and I find this is the easiest was to use them up. Animals aren't critical of some of the color combinations.
I would enjoy hearing from you again. It is always a pleasure meeting some one with the same interest.
Take care.
Gerry

My left over yarn has went to my daughter to do plastic canvas, and recently to my girl scout troop for other crafts!
Welcome from Texas! What part are you from? I live in North East Texas.
I live in the mini metropolis of Brackettville. It is located on Highway 90 midway between Uvalde and Del Rio. I live on Fort Clark Springs. I guess we are considered West Texas.
Ahh, I grew up in Devine and graduated from there. I think we played Uvalde in football!
