Hi, everybody.

I'm new to Crochet Me, and I'm having a wonderful time exploring. I've been crocheting for a long time (seems like forever!) and made lots of stuff (well, what got finished, anyway) from someone else's patterns, that always seems to get given away. Maybe one of these days (years?) I'll get around to making something just for ME! Got to reduct that stash somehow ...

No, the weather here in Phoenix decidedly does NOT make it impossible to crochet - I just turn the A/C up higher! Can't wait on the outside temperature, after all. Here it is, November already, and my thermometer is currently (this minute!) registering a balmy 82. Doesn't that just make you sick? Mad, even? I know I used to hate people telling me how marvelous it was where they were, while I was literally up to my armpits in snow. Well, don't feel too badly, because when you're dealing with the low 90s, it'll be back in the mid 110s here - when I don't dare go outside (I stay inside and crochet - with the air turned way up!).
