hi all- I'm so excited about the new format here... what about me? well I'm sure my mom taught me as a kid, but it didn't stick. Mom is a fabulous knitter, but I just couldn't sit and be patient and learn. time passed, now I'm 36 and I have a 5 year old. Last winter I was finally ready to learn. Mom gave me a few knitting lessons, and a quick crochet lesson to make some hotpads, and I was hooked. obsessed really. I love knitting and crochet and have been looking for fun, interesting, modern crochet sites.

I love pattern magazines. (I'm a magazine junkie!) Besides the fabulous Interweave Crochet, any other crochet mags I need? I have a couple random issues of Crochet! and Crochet today, but I'd love to hear your advice. see ya around! MKZ
