Hello all - I've lived in Washington State for two years now, and prior to that raised four children in Fort Collins CO. Then they moved and most of them are here in Washington state - so when I retired I moved too. I've been crocheting for over 50 years, as well as knitting. I prefer crocheting because it's faster for me. I've made afghans, booties, stuffed animals, doilies and lots of other things as well. I'm involved in making things for the Senior Center in our town and really enjoy it, especially since I have more time for it.
