My love of crochet

As far back as I can remember, I have always loved to crochet. I used to watch my mother crochet some nice things and it impressed me. One day my mother taught me how to make the starting chain and I worked on the chain forever before I got it right. I made a very long chain, I thought I was really doing something. Then my older sister Mary saw me and she said,"what are you doing with that long chain"? I said I was crocheting and she said."you are supposed to put the chains together and make some stitches"! Fortunately then she taught me how to do the single stitch and double stitch and I was hooked (no pun intended). I started crocheting as a hobby and still crochet for family and friends and for profit. I love crocheting and I hope I am always able to do it, as I am developing arthritis and it starts to act up when it gets cold. Anyway, thanks Mary for teaching me how to crochet. LOve ya.
