My hooker days, as in crochet hook... anyway, I started crocheting some time in my teen years, I don't remember exactly as that was a very long time ago. My mom taught me the basics and I pretty much just picked up the rest on my own. I remember during Hurricane Alicia in 1983, we had lost power for a few days and there was nothing else to do but crochet. Couldn't drive because there were power lines down everywhere, so it was just safer to stay in. I also liked to cross stitch then, but since my eye sight isn't so well anymore, it is harder to do the cross stitch now.<br /><br />My grandmother and aunt knit and crochet, very well I might add. Mom only caught on to the crochet though. My grandmother tried to teach me to knit, but I could only get the basic and wasn't very good at it, so I went back to crocheting. My aunt can make just about anything, knit or crochet. You can see some of her items at her ETSY shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/knitsbyjeanie">Knits by Jeanie.</a><br /><br />I mostly love to crochet for babies. I have a passion for the little bundles of joy and love to make things for them from hats to booties to afghans. I have had an itching to try the knit thing again, but haven't gotten around to it yet. I'm sure I will some day.<br /><br />You can check out some of my baby creations at my ETSY shop, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/CrochetTLC">Crochet TLC</a>.
