Introduce yourself!!

Hi, everyone...I am so glad that those of us who "hook" it have finally got a spot to have a place.

My name is Dawn. I am a happily married mom of 3 kids (2 of which are teens). My daughter also hooks with me, and has gotten quite good. We are considering starting an etsy store for our crocheted items, and we also sell at craft shows in our area. We also have a home business with Noah's Ark Animal Workshop and we homeschool all of our kids.

I'm looking forward to meeting everyone.

He spends the day with my husband, a stay-at-home dad who seperated from the Air Force in March of 2007. When I'm home from work, I love nothing more than to veg out on the couch with some yarn and a hook.

I started crocheting 26FEB2005, on my mom's birthday, when I just had a strange urge to learn how. So I bought one of those "Teach yourself how to crochet" kits at Hobby Lobby and started a blanket that is still in progress. I wanted to double it for use on a bed and accidently quadrupled it!! I get it out every now and then but mostly I just do regular sized afghans, baby blankets, scarfs, etc.

My current project is another impromtu afghan where I will be piecing together granny squares that have some popcorn stitches on them - another new trick for me. ;o)

I'm also an experienced cross-stitcher and mediocre knitter!; ▶ Reply to This

I made a sweater for my 19yod a few weeks ago -- a first for me! I've made curtains, doilies, afghans, scarves, mittens, fingerless gloves, legwarmers, dish cloths, purses, slippers and dog sweaters, but had never attempted a top of any kind before. It turned out really cute, and I was even able to make a couple of adjustments to it (for a better fit/look) sans pattern! LOL!!

I always have several projects going at once, and I'm always on the lookout for the "next" one. I tend to stick to worsted weight yarns or yarns I can buy at WalMart-type stores LOL! I'm currently looking for a pattern for a valance that can be made out of cotton ... and I'd love to find one with hearts in it!; ▶ Reply to This

There is only one problem, apparently I crochet backwards - I never knew that until during a class, the instructor pointed it out. My grandma is left-handed, I am right-handed and that seems to be the problem. Although, you can't tell that my stitches are backwards (unless maybe you are an expert), but sometimes that are rather unique.

I look forward to getting to know all of you!!; ▶ Reply to This

I love to crochet and also sell some of my items on ebay along w/other stuff. My gma taught me how to crochet long time ago..basic stitches and such and I just went from there. I'm starting to try to read patterns and such and do more but I mainly look at something and try to figure out how to make it look the same. lol

I have a Yarn shop that I go to a few times a week to sit and work on my projects and chat w/some lovely ladies and the hand warmers that you see on my page are a personal pattern from myself that the yarn shop had me do for them...which is cool. Pretty sad when I can't read patterns yet..but I made one for someone else hee hee.

I guess that's bout it for me..nice to meet yall!!; ▶ Reply to This

I was in the outside work force my whole life until I had my son two years ago, so it's been an adjustment. My Mom recently moved down by me to be near me and the kids, and she's been teaching me to crochet, knit and sew. I'm hungry to learn all I can about this lost art - because it's incredibly creative. Can't wait to meet and learn from you all!; ▶ Reply to This
