New To The Group

Howdy! I'm new to the group so I figured I would post a little something
about myself.

I'm a 20 year old female from Oklahoma. I'm both a knitter and a
crocheter but crocheting is easier and faster for me. I've only made
doilies and little things so far but I'm getting there.

I'm finishing up a doily I'm making for my grandmother for Christmas.
I've finished all the others for my cousins and mom but they still need
to be blocked.

I can't wait for Christmas to be over with though. I don't like being
mobbed & stomped by people carrying television sets when trying to get
more thread I also don't like making beanies and scarves for friends
only to have them thrown in the bottom of their closet. It happened to
my roomie in the dorm and she still asks me when she's going to get a
doily. Fat chance woman!

Glad to meet you all!

I hear you on that. I don't make a lot of things for other people.
Still, remembering my childhood, it is in the nature of beanies to
wind up in the bottom of a closet... I don't worry too much about the
ones I make for my niece's daughters. I just use acrylic and make
fun things (they're a lot younger than your roommate!) and am amazed
that my niece seems to wash and dry them daily.

You could offer to teach your roomie to make her own doily,
_after_ she buys her own materials and crochet hook.

Hi Brandie,

Welcome to the greatest group on the web. I'm mainly a crocheter now too, do
afghans for Project Linus and other charity groups. I envy you crocheting with
thread,as for me, I don't like using the small hook and thread. I have used the
cotton yarn for doilies though. Don't blame you for not making one for your
friend.

Hi Brandie,

It is nice to meet you. This is the greatest group going. Looking foreward
to your posts.
