So this is my first "Stitch-Stirrers" post. I really like the idea--gets my brain thinking! So without further ado;
What is your favorite thing about crochet?
Well, it would have to be the fact that I am wearing a sweater right now that my mom made me and it is keeping me decidedly warm. Especially with the snow falling outside right now.
Actually when I first started crocheting I hated it. It wasn't that I was impatient, but man was it BORING! My mom tried teaching it to me and I think we were both so frustrated that I just sort of got it, but didn't do anything with it. I knew how to crochet a flat afghan, but it killed me to do so.
After I found out about granny squares, I realized crochet was a bit more available to me and a lot more interesting. No more blankets! Gone were the days of flat crochet and stripes. I think my favorite thing to crochet these days are hand bags.

Also, when I came back to Kansas City, all proud of my mad crochet skills, I convinced my mom to do something other than afghans and flat scarfs. It was like pulling teeth.
She stinkin' busted out a sweater on her first try.
p.s. happy birthday mom!!
