I think it must be at least 60 years now since I first started crocheting. I’ve had long periods when I didn’t crochet but once I found Ravelry I was hooked again.

I was interested in a lot of stuff when I was a kid, including sewing, drawing, spirograph, and crochet. Crochet seems to have stuck around. I was taught by a book, my Mum, my Nan, and an old lady my Mum knew. It took a while for it to stick.

I make great shawls, and much less good jackets, so I mostly make shawls. Also some hats and fingerless gloves.

The one thing I’d really like to be better at is seaming; mostly for knitting but for crochet too.

I think I’ll leave it to others to start that fashion!

It’s a good square: puff stitches aren’t easy to get even.

I am now an old lady, but I’ve been crocheting since I was a kid. I have never put crochet on a TV, and now with flat screens I don’t plan to!

(I do however have lap blankets on most surfaces that don’t move.)

That’s just so cute! It must have taken a lot of patience making all those loops!

I’ve always felt that the sense of smell was underrated. But then I do have the best sense of smell of anyone in my family. It’s just as well because my other senses aren’t all as good: I need glasses and hearing aids. I wonder if there will ever be some sort of aid for smelling.
