crochet
I have crocheted for as long as I can remember, thank you Mom for passing on such a wonderful gift, I never told her that, nor did she get the opportunity to see what I was capable of... I have crocheted many items with thread, I found yarn was to bulky , and I loved the antiquity and delicacy of thread work. I have made collars with beads , purses, bags, wash cloths and odds and ends alot of unfinished projects for one reason or another...mostly I am sure to lack of confidence. This year I chose to make each of my children a throw...or afghan if you will, I had bought some yarn on sale about 10 or 11 years ago while living in Wyoming...Lionbrand I believe in the one pound skiens, I never did anything with it as the colors were dark and I couldn't find anything I felt was a good pattern. Somewhere in all of this I bought a q hook...again never a pattern to use this with, I started searching the internet during December and found a cpl of great patterns for throws. so I began crocheting like a fiend. in less than 2 weeks I made 6 throws, WOW. I have used all but 4 skiens...as that is not enough for the throw...but i found another pattern, yoyo's I have made these with material. so after all these years buying all that yarn finally paid off. and I feel good about my gifts to my children. I have honestly made some beautiful things with the knowledge I have. I am sorry I just never realized it till now.
