On a late night just last week I finally learned how to crochet. 
I have the tendency to begin to wake up just as the sun is setting.
We have had such beautiful sunsets lately, I suppose it is no surprise that evening is when I get inspired to make!
I adore wrapping up in a warm shawl, lighting an oil lamp, putting on some music, and sitting down in a darkened room with my needles and yarn to figure out something new.

For so long crocheting has been the mystery I can not solve. I am a bit of a knitting fanatic, but the entire concept of Crochet was beyond me! My grandmother tried to teach me once when I was little, but it ended with me almost in tears and my poor Grammy completely flabbergasted!

Thank goodness for Mary Frances Knitting and Crocheting book and YouTube videos.
I am loving this crocheting thing, and I promise to pictures of my ongoing crocheting adventure! Even since taking these pictures I have learned more stitches and have been learning how to do bits of lace doilies. Now to figure out what to do with all these doilies...
