It wasn't until my early 20's that I picked up a hook again. I was living on the Oxford Canal at the time, and spent many a happy hour sitting on the roof of my boat with lovely friends, chatting, crocheting blankets, porthole doilies and cabin lace, and drinking tea.
In my late 20's I moved off the canal onto dry land. I didn't pick up my hooks again for years, and it's only in the last couple (I'm now in my mid 40's) that I started hooking again in earnest. Now ... I'm not saying that I'm a crochet expert, far from it in fact ~ there are many, many stitches that I've not even attempted yet. All I know is that I need to crochet. It calms my overthinking brain. It "burns off the crazy". And it's less fattening than binging on cake.
So my plan for this little blog, as I expand my crocheting skills, is to fill it up with various original creations and projects and useful stuff and info. That's if I'm not too busy hooking to post.
