I was crocheting on the Amtrak bus coming up from Santa Barbara, and I called my daughter in S.L.O. to tell her I'd be there in an hour so she could pick me up, and she was already there, crocheting. I held her curly white yarn project while she put my suitcases in the back. When I went to hand it back, I said,"Here's your poodle."
While I was here I went to the Michael's in S.L.O. and the one in Atascadero and got yarn. I also got yarn at Beverly's. Everyone has yarn on sale right now for the holidays. One lady had about 20 pairs of knitting needles in her basket and I said you must really like knitting. She laughed and said they were for Christmas gifts.
I've been a happy hooker since I was in grammar school. That is to say, I love to crochet. I find it less stressful than knitting and easier to do in a spontaneous way. I remember making a shell stitch scarf when I was in 5th or 6th grade. Now many scarves, afghans, toys and booties later, I'm making a blog to share my love for crochet with you.
