I crocheted this butterfly in flight in the wee hours of the morning!

Happy Yarning!
What’s on my hook? Potholders
How long have I been a fiber artist? almost 40 years
How did I learn to crochet? Mom taught me the basics and a few years later I just picked up lots of stitches and techniques on my own.
Items I’m known for? I suppose doilies. I’ve made and sold oodles of them.
The only crocheted item I ever give anymore is potholders. Everyone can use them and I don’t have millions of hours wrapped up in them.
I am getting ready to make a baby blanket and I’ve been trying to decide whether to knit or crochet. It used to be that I could crochet an afghan far faster than knit, but as I get better at knitting, I’ve gotten faster, so now I can’t decide. It would help if I had a particular pattern in mind for this, but I don’t. The blanket is for my daughter’s best friend’s first child. It will be all natural fiber, organic cotton if I can afford it.
I’ve become a bit of a fiber snob. I won’t use acrylic (or any other petroleum byproduct fiber) for my work. Natural fiber only. I mean really, I wouldn’t wrap a baby in saran wrap, why would I wrap one in acrylic yarn? But that’s just my preferences (and the views of the mom to be as well). Just call me a granola crunching tree hugger. :)

Tulip, what a history you have! I started a blanket, put it down, unraveled the yarn and made small items instead.lol I love to make items that give me quick results. Crocheting is an art that’s being revived and I’m delighted!
I am making dishcloths at the moment...a marathon of sorts.
I’ve been crocheting for a year, my start date was Valentine’s Day 2011.
Watching Youtube videos and using crochet books are my learning tools for crocheting. Occasionally, I freestyle an item.
I’m known for making scarves, flowers, dishcloths, washcloths and hats.
The last item I gifted was a blue/white placemat to my hubby.
My older daughter loves Hello Kitty. For Christmas, I made her a headband/Hello Kitty bow. She received compliments on it wherever she’d go.
Thanks for posting. It gave me the boost I need to get going making a new potholder. I seem to go thru a lot of them, LOL. The yarn has been sitting there on my coffee table for ages. finally started it while watching a movie tonight.
Tulip
Thanks Mary! It’s so much fun to create something with your own hands.
Tulip, glad the post inspired you! Likewise, I hope to be crocheting for many years to come. Now, I need that boost to do a large project!
