I've been a crafter since a very early age. A neighbor taught me how to crochet edging for handkerchiefs when I was 5 years old! I learned to knit at age 8 from my dear aunt. I've never stopped. Through the years I've picked up other crafts but knitting and crocheting are always a part of my life. They are my portable crafts. I relax with needles or hook in hand every chance I get.
