Oldies but Goodies

Gee, it has been a while since I posted something. My brother came across an old photo of me and my son. It brought back memories of when I first actually started knitting clothes. Started small by knitting things like the vest in the photo for my son. Then worked my way up to adult sizes. The Christmas vest in the photo was a Mary Maxim kit from 1990 or 91. No longer available of course. People still come into the store looking for old favourites like the ones my mother made for us when my brothers and I were little. The big cardigans with the reign deer on it or snowmen or the skater. Why do they always get rid of these oldies that were so good? People still want them.

Exciting New Crochet Patterns!

I recently received the Autumn issue of Interweave Crochet and I just LOVE the Northern Dreams Pullover. Had to look twice at it because I thought it was knitted. But the pattern is for crochet and I want to make it! Will certainly add it to my list of "MUST do's ". I still have to finish my Lion Brand crochet a long afghan and the summer top I have been working on. It's time to post some photos of some of the blocks I have finished for the afghan. Just wanted to have at least one of each of the colours I am using for it done.

My first post!

Hi everyone! I love to knit, crochet, cross stitch, sew, quilt and do a lot more crafts. Because of my hobby addictions my stash is huge and the WIPs and WIMs are endless. There are other hobbies on my list too that have nothing to do with crafts, such as genealogy and health/fitness. There is always something to do.

I live in the big city and work in a yarn/craft store. My 21 year old son lives with me and our 5 parakeets.
