I love yarn!

Well let me introduce myself....I have a very serious problem. I am a yarn hoarder, I am a yarn addict, I can't go any place without checking in the yarn section (if they have one)...I just love yarn! My husband refuses to move anymore of his things just so I can stash my yarn purchases. Oh I forgot I was supposed to be introducing myself....lol...
 
 
Hi!
 
 
This is me and my loving husband D. I started crocheting and knitting when I was young. My grandfather's sister taught me.....Aunt Lenoir. I will definitely never forget her. She always had good food and she always taught us something. That's where the passion started for me. I picked up crocheting and knitting again about 2 years ago and I love it! It feels good to make something beautiful and to be creative. So that is why I am going to try my hand at designing. I have always been a designer at heart. It's always been something I wanted to do. I don't have a favorite color. I love all colors. This blog is going to be dedicated to my journey with crochet. I will be posting patterns, yarn giveaways, and images and video tutorials of my projects. If I learn something new you will too! So please come back and check often! xoxox's
