Crochet... An Art in its Own Right

I love crocheting. It's both relaxing and rewarding. There's just something awesome about watching a thing of beauty come from nearly nothing.

Amazing how a ball of yarn can become this:

or even this:

My kids always beg for me to make them gifts of crochet. It doesn't take much to convince me. The best place in a store is the yarn isle. So many varieties, so many colors and textures to choose from! My oldest daughter knows that if she can't find me, I'm probably there. And if I'm not drooling over the yarn, I'm over in the books and magazines department. When I find new issues of "Crochet Today", it's like hitting "pay dirt"!

Just for fun, I thought I'd share a few more pieces of my crochet handiwork.

Enjoy!

When I am stressed, I get out my crochet hooks. There's something so calming about relaxing with my work.  I look forward to others' new arrivals, special orders and gift-giving time. Each offers an excuse for me to "need" to create.

Now... what can I make for you? :-)
