Hello from the South

[Linda]

Just came across your sight in searching for old crochet patterns.

 

I'm not quite to retirement age yet....but still find time to crochet almost each evening while watching 1-2 hours of TV with "hubby" of 35 years.......usually after 9PM. I can't seem to sit for any period of time without a crochet hook in my hand!

 

I've been crocheting for some 40 years and truly love it! Most of my crochet is old doily/runner/table top patterns using the size 20 and 30 thread, but occasionally I will use #10 thread. I usually end up giving pieces as gifts for Christmas/birthdays/even as giveaways at family reunions....have even sold some in years past. In my "younger days" I also enter some items in the North Florida Fair.

 

I just started my first bedspread (for a queen size bed). The pattern shows for single and double, but figure I can work out how many additional rows I have to add to get the correct size. Based on the number of squares needed for a double bed, I figure if I do 3 squares a week; I should be pretty well there in about a year and a half. That will still allow me to do other items in between....don't want to get burned out on the bedspread and never complete it!

 

Nice to find a "community" of gals (and possibly guys) with a similar interest.
