Introduction

Hi! I'm a 45 year old wife & mother of 2 grown daughters. My 25 yr. old daughter & I LOVE to crochet, craft, and like to do craft shows! We are always looking for new patterns, techniques, and new crafts to try.

How long have you crocheted? (If you don't but wish to learn, say so!)

I've been crocheting since I was 20...so about 25 years. I actually started learning from my mother & grandmother when I was 12, but didn't really pick it up seriously until I was 20 & had my first daughter!

Who taught you your first stitches?

My mother started teaching me the basics. My grandmother crocheted daily, and I would go to her house & watch her & ask questions. I taught myself the rest, after I began crocheting seriously when I was 20.

What was your first project that you remember?

My first project was a pillow, and it came out about 2 inches longer at the top than at the bottom!! LOL! But I was still proud of it!

What was your most recent project?

For Christmas, I crocheted my youngest daughter an afghan made with double strand of worsted weight yarn. I made it large enough to cover a full size bed so she could snuggle under it with her boyfriend comfortable....or share it with her 2 cats!

How did you feel about the results of your most recent project? did you like it? were you proud of it? do you wish you'd done it differently?

I loved how my afghan came out! I used a simple pattern that a friend of mine invented & it worked up so quick & so thick! My daughter loved it!

Hi Tammy. I'm so glad you found us! Our next meetup will be on Wednesday, January 4 at the Blue Fig in Alliance. We gather around 7 and stay until we're ready to leave! We also have a group on Facebook that we tend to use more than this site. Welcome again! We're looking forward to meeting you!

Hi Tammy, I noticed that we have simular interests, even some of the things on your list that are not on mine. I also know how life altering disability can be as I had to go on SSDI two years ago, then moved back to Salem last year to be near family. It would be great if we could get a group going IN Salem as I travel via taxi these days. If you decide to start a group, let me know. I've debated about starting one but I am a little chicken, lol. Take care, Nancy
