Hi from Columbia, Missouri - home of the University of Missouri Tigers and almost exactly halfway between Kansas City and St. Louis. I have lived here with my husband for almost 20 years now. Before that we lived in Louisville, Kentucky where I was born and raised.

 

I have been crocheting for about 1 year, thanks to my then 11-year-old daughter's Girl Scout Troop project for Project Linus. They had one meeting where they learned to crochet, then came home to finish it - and she promptly forget everything she learned at the meeting.

 

So, I went to Wal-Mart and bought a rather generic "Learn to Crochet" book and the rest is history. :cheer

 

I am enamored with scarves - I have made about 8 to date and have 2 WIP scarves. I have also made washcloths, placemats, and two bags. Inspired by the Pillowghan CAL, I just began one tonight that HAS to be finished before Oct. 24 as it is for my BFF's daughter who is having spine surgery.

 

Enough about me! I am looking forward to learning lots and meeting a lot of crocheters.

Hi from Long Island NY!!! I crocheted a bit when I was a kid then forgot about it. Took it back up 18 years ago when I quit smoking. I now am addicted to yarn!! It is a much better addiction!! You will be surpised how fast you can finish a project when you need to LOL. We crocheters always have WIP's, this way you dont get bored w/just one thing. Glad you found us!

Olá Vik,

 

Your scarves are very colorful - perfect for sailing! Your "thank you" scarves for your friends who supported your loss are beautiful as well. We had our first dog for 15 years and she passed away almost 2 years ago, and we still miss her - we had her before our children!
