it's always great to connect with other knitters/crocheters/hand crafters! i used to cross-stitch, but it's been a non-stop knitting party for the last several years. lol! i find being busy with my hands, especially in the very loooooong cold winters way up here, really relaxes me. i was taught to knit and crochet by my mother and grandmother as a little girl, and picked it back up about 5 years ago. i knit and crochet anything and everything. i knit a couple of hobby horses from interweave knits mag for the two little ones in my care as christmas gifts last year.

i'm a single mom of one adopted son, have 6 little ones in my home daily, and yes...i also still find time to knit/crochet many gifts, and prepare a table full of things for our annual craft bazaar. i guess there's always time for the things we LOVE to do!
