I never thought I would crochet or knit, but I sure have
changed since I got married. I also said I would never move out of California
or marry a guy in the military, but both those things happened and I’m the
happiest girl in the world. Oh yeah, and the third thing came true too, I love
to crochet. We have snowstorms to the point that you’re snowed in (that
happened only twice though) and you get pretty creative by thinking of ways to
stay busy. One example is crocheting. My mother in law and my mom taught me the
basics of crocheting and then it took off from there. I started teaching
myself, using pinterest and you tube ideas and I’ve sold quite a bit of stuff.
It’s actually very relaxing, therapeutic and fun at the same
time. It’s definitely more of a winter hobby, because during the summer time I’m
way too busy. I love to make gifts for people and as you can see in the photos
I’ve made a lot of baby items, and NO I’m not pregnant, not yet at least. Of
course that’s in our plan but I was having so many friends that were having
babies and I wanted to give them a gift that was unique and different from any
other gift.
I’ve made men and women beanies, women headbands with
flowers, a circular throw blanket, scarves, flowers, baby beanies, baby throw
blankets, baby sweaters and booties, baby mary jane shoes, diaper cover and
such. My latest project was a little teddy bear that I gave to a friend of mine
at her baby shower. I totally recommend learning how to crochet and possibly
making it your new hobby. I think you’ll be surprised how much you enjoy it.
