Made this for my aunt who taught me how to crochet. link for pattern http://www.crochetmemories.com/shop/spring-butterfly-garden-doily/

My aunt taught me when I was 10, she told me that if you don't learn how to read a pattern then you might as well not learn to crochet. So I learned how to read a pattern and am very greatful for that because I would have never been able to crochet the projects I have crocheted.

I am 23 and I have been crocheting for 13 years.

I don't even want to think about counting my stash, I have two 45 gallon bins full of yarn and plus tote bags full of yarn it sickens me to think about it .... For a while I kept on buying yarn that was on sale and never even using it, but lately I have forced myself to only buy yarn that I need for the pattern I am working on. Also I will be teaching a few people how to crochet this month so I am letting them use some of my stash to practice with since I have so much.
