and I'll put more information here as we go along.
Let me bring you up to date so far. I have been crocheting and loom knitting for about 40 odd years (give or take, who's counting). With each and every project I create, I do so with love - one stitch at a time. I don't knit/crochet just for the sake of doing it. I find it relaxing and calming and it is something that I love. It doesn't matter what the project is. It doesn't matter if it is for someone special or for my shop. I create things because I love creating things and have fun doing it. And I honestly believe that something made by hand beats the same thing mass produced and bought in a store any day of the week.About 2 years ago, I was diagnosed with COPD. And about a little over a year ago, I had to begin using oxygen under exertion. I try not to limit myself in what I do and don't do. But I have learned what my limitations are. Weather is my biggest challenge. The temperature and high humidity and dew point we have been experiencing the past week or so have given me a lot more time to knit, because being out and about is not really a good option. I do work part time (four hours a day max). And that is before it gets totally unbearable (from 8 am to noon). I love working but again, I am learning my limitations.
Right now, I have five projects on various looms in all sorts of states of completion. And I'll be adding completed items to Etsy over the next couple of days.
Here are a couple of projects completed recently.......
These are all baby afghans and newborn size hats. I have also made scarves and adult size hats. I am completing a shawl, a hexagon baby blanket, and child sized scarf and hat set, and another shawl from a pattern I wrote (available on Etsy).
Check back often because I'll be sharing some fun projects here. And if I can create something for you, please just ask. In fact - let's create something together.
Here's to looming and crocheting - let the fun begin.
