+ Intros and Crochet Chatter

Hi all. I was taught to crochet by my Nan about 25 years ago, but apart from a large number of granny squares that became a blanket (that is now on my sisters sofa!), I didn't achieve much.

I started crocheting again early last year, and I don't think I've stopped since. My sister says that I have been prolific in fact. I have made...

9 hats
6 cardigans
3 ponchos
and even more granny squares!

I have just started the Crystal Lace Bolero pattern from this site, although I hope to adapt it with longer sleeves.

I think I'll leave it at that for now.

Yes,crochet is addictive isn't it!

Impressive output! Maybe you can inspire me to greater sticktoitiveness. Do you have a secret?

Hello from an equally "sunny" Somerset!

(OK, drizzly is a far better description, but we can pretend ;) )

Wow, you sound just like me! (And ironic thing is my name is Devon -LOL!)

Nana taught me about 25 years ago as well, and all I managed then were the shoelaces for the slippers she'd make for everyone. I picked up the hook again a few months ago and haven't been able to put it down. I made 15 hat and scarf sets for Christmas, an afgan, and now I'm halfway through a cardigan. My boyfriend laughs at me because I can't put it down. He thinks I'm weird. hehehe
