Ok, so this is my first run at this blog thing so let's hope for the best, here. I am starting this blog for several reasons, the most important being to showcase items that I have crocheted from patterns found across my travels that I will be happy to make for you! Some of these patterns are from other crocheters I have found on the internet, some are from books and some (only a few at this point), are just some stuff that flew out of my head.
A little background on me: My mother taught me to crochet when I was 11 years old. I didn't know it at the time, but the Granny Square blanket pattern she taught me was NOT the extent of crochet. It wasn't until I reached college when a friend showed me something she was crocheting that I realized that there was more to crochet than the double-crochet Granny Square my mother taught me. Go figure!! Being the eternal student that I am, I went and bought a book...that book lead me to buy different yarn and that yarn exposed me to various sizes of hooks...A WHOLE NEW WORLD!! So, for the past 4 or so years I have been teaching myself to read patterns, execute more challenging techniques and gainging the skill and confidence to venture out into the world of fashion crochet. My goal is to one day write my very own 'big deal' pattern!!!
My friends and family have been awesome support in this venture, so I dedicate the beginning of this now 'documented' journey to them! I am sharing a few pieces just to get me started with this blog thing, but you can expect to see more pictures, content and maybe even commentary along the way! lol Hope you enjoy!
