I started with my mother-in-law learning how to do the broomstick afghan and then moved on to other things. It’s Maggie’s fault I love to make dish cloths and give them away. LOL. I can truly say I am a yarn addict. Any practice stitches I do for a pattern I do in a dishcloth. So I am learning and creating something useful at the same time. The best thing I love about crocheting is the calmness it brings me and allows me to meditate and pray while working on a pattern. ”
