My Obsession is Crocheting. I learned 9 years ago. I taught myself with just a how-to book and one hook. By the end of the first week I had made my first sweater, by the end of the first year I went from being a beginner to an advanced crocheter, and from one hook to a complete set of aluminum and steel along with all the bits and pieces that make crocheting so much easier. I love to work with my hands. I love watching a skein of yarn or ball of thread transform into something. And when the item is complete, the feeling of joy and a sense of accomplishements runs just ahead of the sense of sorrow that it's over. Let me share with you some of the things that I have made. Keep in mind these are only a few items. I didn't have a camera when I first started and have no pictures from those beginning years.
