I think it must be at least 60 years now since I first started crocheting. I've had long periods when I didn't crochet but once I found Ravelry I was hooked again.

I was interested in a lot of stuff when I was a kid, including sewing, drawing, spirograph, and crochet. Crochet seems to have stuck around. I was taught by a book, my Mum, my Nan, and an old lady my Mum knew. It took a while for it to stick.

I make great shawls, and much less good jackets, so I mostly make shawls. Also some hats and fingerless gloves.

The one thing I'd really like to be better at is seaming; mostly for knitting but for crochet too.
